Grove City, PA | I was trying to find something that met most of what he mentioned. Short of using an old computer to do routing/AP, cheapest I found is around $250, without 802.11b/g card.

Saint Louis, MO | The GigE part cannot be that big of a deal. I am using a $35 5port GigE switch behind a WRT54G now. So I find it hard to believe that it would be that difficult to graft the GigE electronics into the router.
We all know that ram and flash are dirt cheap right now, so that should not be the issue. If they cannot go from a 125MHZ processor in 2002 to a 350MHZ processor now, I would find that extremely hard to believe. |

Grove City, PA | I agree but for some reason they don't think people are interested in it, or have some really long contracts with their suppliers, or maybe just don't care? They are still using SDRAM these days and it's not really as cheap as DDR2 is now.
I can't believe that they (Linksys, Dlink, Netgear, etc.) still can't even make a router that won't crash with even the most basic of connections in this age.. And the fact they don't make them with integrated battery backup.
That's why I'd rather make one myself if I needed it.
It would cost a lot more but in the end you'd get what you'd pay for.
