My Linksys modem and wireless router finally gave up the ghost last week after several months of me nursing it along. It kept dropping connections and eventually I couldn't connect to it at all so it was time for a new one. I was going to stick with Linksys but the reviews of their latest modem/routers aren't that good. It seems dropped connections is a common and continuing problem. So I've gone for Netgear's DG834G. It's pretty much all singing/all dancing with a 'double firewall'... whatever that means. However, what really impressed me was the ease of setting it up. I plugged everything together, went to the admin URL and on the setup page is an 'auto setup' feature. All I had to do was enter my ISP username & password, the box worked it's magic and was up and running in a matter of seconds. A few seconds later and I'd set up WPA2 security and was surfing safely behind my fancy firewall.
A truly plug and play device...
