johnridley: (antikythera)
I bought a cheap Rosewill wireless router for $25 a few months back to replace our ailing WRT-54GL. It's OK but I couldn't get it to run Tomato (it's advertised as doing so). This morning Newegg's flier advertised one of the nicer Asus routers for $38, so one of those is on the way. Those are pretty well reviewed as lasting a while.

For whatever reason, it seems to be the norm that wireless routers last 2 or 3 years and then die. I suspect mostly of bad capacitors. The old Netgear 514s that I bought several of all died of bad capacitors.
