[TriLUG] OT: best home wireless router? (Linux is the answer!)

[Pete Soper]

Hi Joe!

I've run a WRT54G for years too. It's definitely the most reliable 
Linux-based router I've used (counting four others). It's been "many 9s" 
reliable for me, even without custom firmware. There are no doubt 
zillions of these on the used equipment market, 'cause so many people 
have "upgraded" over the years.

With the UPS covering the broadband modem/dialup box too you can often 
stay connected to the weather radar when conditions outside get 
"interesting."
