I think I had looked at a few Belkins at the time, too.

Shortly after writing this, I did switch to the Linksys WRT54GL that I wrote about here: http://www.mikeseiler.com/linksys-wrt54gl-wireless-router-review/

It’s been over 2 years and I’m still happy with it, so at this point I guess I’m a Linksys fan.

I never messed with the firmware or anything, so I would have probably been fine with just the WRT54G.

I have yet to find a home wireless brand that I like, I have had problems with Netgear has terrible connectivity on a wireless bridge and linksys always breaking and replacing. I have a belkin 54g, while it is reliable and has a fair amount of features, I have to reboot if after torrents or it wont access port 80.

Word of warning: We’ve got a LinkSys WAG54G as our Internet Gateway, and we get extendeded period of “Duuuuur” from the thing – The ADSL is working fine, but the gateway refuses to provide connectivity.

I don’t know if the WGR series suffer from a similar problem, but they might. The only Wireless Netwokring Component I’ve even had proper, constant uptime from is the Belkin 54G Wireless Internet Gateway that my parents use…

Just wanted to add that I can relate to the disappointment. In addition to the MR314 routers that were perfect for me, I also had great luck with two MA401 wireless cards. My parents also use an MR314 and one of their USB wireless adaptors (I forget the model).

Never a problem with any of them, which is the type of reliability I was hoping for with the WGR614.
