| Need a router recommendation
The FiOS install came with a DLink 624. I really don't like this router. Even after configuring the firewall portion, sometimes it just doesn't work well with BT. The ports I opened still remain closed sometimes.
I use to use a Netgear FVS-318, but the internet port is only 10mbps.

My Linksys WRT54GS v2 works well with 15/2 (haven't gotten around to asking for the speed upgrade yet) with bittorrent always running.
I believe the good performance of this router can be attributed to the Thibor firmware I'm using, more so than the hardware itself. |
