    I have a D-Link DIR-655 that has been rock solid, I also have a Watchguard Firebox x1000 for playing with.
    Thanks, Tom

    Cisco ASA5505, UC520, and some old Linksys APs (running DDWRT). Need to bite the bullet and switch to decent 802.11n APs soon though.

    All you chaps are making me feel inadequate for using the wireless router that came with my Verizon service. I'm not sure that I even know the brand.

    I'm currently running an 877W. At work we are a Cisco partner and I'm enquiring about what it would cost to upgrade to a 887VA or 887VA-W.

    Started with a Draytek 2920n .. then I had a Cisco 877 - but whilst that is an awesome router - it fails on ADSL2+ .. you have to hit the perfect combination of IOS and ADSL firmware to get it stable (the latter mostly have to be requested by Cisco as the ones on the website aren't the latest).
    I am now using a Billion BiPAC 7402NX which is so far rock solid

    I've got Linksys e2000 with dd-wrt installed. Handles 25Mbps download and 2 Mbps upload speeds just fine. I am satisfied with the hardware and the dd-wrt firmware is a beast.

    I am using a pfSense box that I built. It is hooked into an 8 port switch. pfSense works very well for me, and was easy to setup.

    pfSense is great. I have it running in a VM... Two WAN connections into the host, load balanced, 1 LAN connection going out to the WRT330N.

    I'll get around to moving pfSense off a VM on my desktop and onto either a dedicated ESX host, or a dedicated physical box, someday.

    Sounds like a very nice setup!

    If you're interested, I can sell you my 871W. Opened and powered it up but never really used it.

    Yes and no. I'd really like one, but since it only has wireless G I'll probably hold off for now. I'd really like to get Wireless N setup and running on my home network.

    I have been looking at getting a HP MSM410 from eBay. Anyone else used these before?

    Did you say "router" ? or what you are aiming is the device which connects us to the Internet at home? If so, i use only single device in order to
    talk wirelessly between computers, connect them with cables, exit to the Internet and traffic control simultaneously in a single package. Thats the Cisco linksys WAG120N.

    I was using a Netgear WNDR3400, however that has changed to an Apple Airport Extreme.

    I plan to soon configure my 881W. I was able to get a good deal on one off of Craigslist.

    Hi jibbajabba,

    I've got my 877W running in ADSL2+ on a Be Wholesale LLU line. Are you using a LLU provider or a BT based provider?

    As you rightly say, you need to hit the right combo of IOS and ADSL firmware. I've had some good results with this combo:

    c870-advipservicesk9-mz.150-1.M7.bin

    Init FW: init_AMR-5.0.007.bin
    Operation FW: AMR-E-0.0.026.bin
    FW Source: external
    FW Version: 0.0.26

    Currently synced at 10.5Mbps downstream and 1.2Mbps upstream for 4 days.

    Netgear WNDR3700 is what I'm currently using prior to Cisco Linksys and it's an amazing router!!

    No issues and very easy to setup and configure. :)

    You've obviously never upgraded the firmware. icon_lol.gif If you had, you'd probably be singing a different tune.

    I bought a Linksys E2500 two weeks ago, I really wanted to try DD-WRT but unfortunately the final version for this model is not released yet.
