Help me select a wireless router

March 2nd, 2009

I am having problems with my home wireless switch/router.  It causes me and my wife to regularly loose Internet connectivity on both wireless and hardwired connections.  A restart of the Linksys WRK54G device immediately solves the problems for all connections without taking any action on any of the clients. So that is the reason why I am searching for a new device.

What I am looking for is a wireless/hardwired router/switch combination.  I like the features of the WRK54G, but it has seen better days as mentioned above.  I am only equipped with 802.11g cards right now and have no desire to upgrade to 802.11n.  Here are a few things that I really like and use on the WRK54G and want to have on my new device:

- At least 4 hardwired 100mb ports
- dynamic DNS interoperaility
- Advanced routing (able to add other IP subnets on private side)
- Lots of wireless security options with some backwards compatability
- MAC filtering
- Port forwarding
- 10/100 uplink to telco modem
- VPN PassThrough

Any advice on new device options would be greatly appreciated.
