I can’t be much of a help but can put in a good word for my old reliable Linksys WRT54G. Find them often on Ebay and love mine.
“Linksys WRT54G”
I have the same router, it’s worked well for more years than I can count.
Never, ever, ever again, or for any organization where I have any purchasing authority.
Just like Compaq after HP. Turned to crap and lied.

I’ve had my 2WIRE since 2006 and has never failed me. Speeds of 54 mbps using wifi alone. It’s like my old Maxtor external hard drives that keep working until today.
