I've had Linksys routers for years and have been very happy with them. Solid performance and a good interface. Unfortunately, the WRT310N I bought about a year (give or take 6 months) ago has been a massive piece of crap. The range is horrible; plus, to make matters worse, there are no external antennas (antennae) to let me improve it. And Mrs. IndyJaws is not very happy that her notebook is struggling to stream nursing school lectures.
So now I'm ready to buy a new router. I need strong range and gigabit ethernet ports (WHS connected). My wireless network is a combination of G (TiVo wireless adaptors, Wii and 360) and N (notebook).
Suggestions for a new router?
Also, when I get a new router, can I use the POS Linksys as an access point/bridge to extend the range? Should I look at DDWRT as an option to increase the Linksys range? (I don't care if I fry the router...it's pissed me off so I don't care if it lives or dies.)
Thanks in advance,
Indy
