personally, i like linksys simply because of how hackable they are on certain models.

i think we recently had a threat about this...about a week or two ago.

and if you already have a router and just want to add wireless, just get an AP system. plugging router into a router can get messy and is highly not recommended.
(unless, of course, you plan on completely replacing the old router, in which case a new wifi router is TOTALLY recommended).

Having determined that eBay is, at least in theory, an option, although it
will require patience on my part, I began to consider jacking a wireless
router into the LAN.

That said, which one(s) have you had the most luck with in terms of
firmware upgrades, arming MAC filtering and the strongest scrambling in
the box with Fedora 7 (I think it's WPA), and overall reliability?

I begin shopping in earnest the morning of November 1.


Thanks in advance,
