It's a wireless super G router with 4 ethernet ports.
It's had great reviews across the board, been probably 1 of 2 pieces of equipment in my network that's never failed or given me a headache. The UI is clean and simple.

The wireless range is really great, I can get signal out to a road 365 ft. out front of my home and the antenna is in a normal position. So figure a 365 ft. omnidirectional range.
Works great for gaming, but I still ran all cable to all my systems.

You can find the routers on eBay somewhat cheap, plus there's a Yahoo retailer that has sales once in a while - you can get it for about $90.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20399457 Mon, 28 Apr 2008 12:21:28 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20396388 dark_star : Reply to all:

Problem solved. I got a Linksys WRT54G2 today at Circuit City for $50. I'm not using the wireless on it, just the wired Ethernet connections. Now my speed is up to 16665 kbps, and that is at Saturday evening peak load times.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20396388 Sun, 27 Apr 2008 19:00:02 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20379523 ARGONAUT : I have a WRT54GL running DD-WRT and I get about that speed as well 90/90 wired and 20/20 wireless.

I haven't had time Google all of the routers listed, but I've already seen a couple that would get the job done and are cheaper than the FVS338.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20378744 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 09:48:43 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20374148 dbmaven : Cablevision's Optimum Online service has had a 30/5 tier for some time, and many users got caught in the same black hole.

Doh!

I can get the Netgear FVS338, which has a claimed throughput of 95 Mbps, for around $200, but I'd like to know if anyone can recommend a good 20 Mbps capable wired router, preferably at lower cost.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20373381 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 10:37:12 EDT
