I currently am using a Cisco WVR200, works great, and says it comes with Linux, 
like you mentioned below. Just a question about that, you said something about 
Linux Kernels on your Linksys router, could you just confirm what you mean by 
that? In other words, what do you mean by kernel, just like the core OS of the 
device?

Hi Steve/James.

I've never actualy heard of Drayteks.  I'll have a look.

I've always went for Linksys over the years because of their Linux Kernel and 
ties with Cisco.

James,  What Cisco router itself would you recommend?  There's allot on the 
market and I've not heard of a consumer Cisco Router other than Linksys.

Thanks fellas.

  Hi Barry,

   

  I have no problem with my WRT300N, I still like it.  But I have seen problem 
reports with the new Linksys WRT610, which make me shy away from it.  Trouble 
with Linksys, is they are very slow to update firmware, and as soon as they 
drop a router, like the WRT300N, they stop updating the firmware.  I believe 
the Drayteks seem to be favourite on this list, but I haven't had my hands on 
one.  I also don't know how good the firewalls are in the Drayteks.

   

  All the best

   

  Steve

  Can anyone recommend one?

   

  I'm trying to get back into Networking and mesing around with things at home 
so am going to setup up a Windows 2003 Server and the router I've had for the 
past two years has the most hidious tables in it's port forwarding and other 
config screens.

   

  It's the Linksys WRT300N

   

  I've always been a bit of a Linksys fan boy but am considering Net Gear.

   

  So any recommendations on either brand?

   

  N Draft is essential.

   

  Thanks Dj Paddy
