While you're mentioning a solid wireless router with a good history, it's no longer being manufactured. The replacement is an Linksys E2100L, which is very nearly the same thing as a WRT160NL, but has twice the RAM: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=73986 http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/linksys/e2100l > Perhaps my only complaint is that the wired ports are not gigabit. > Not a major problem for me at the moment, but it may be a deal-breaker > for you. Agreed, a good point. To get gigabit, I believe you'd need to hit up either the E3200L or E4200 mentioned in $Subject.... Regards, -- -Chuck
