    Hi guys,

    need to make a choice between 4 models

    1. Netgear WGR614

    2. Netgear WGT624

    3. D-Link DI-524

    4. Linksys WRT54GL



    Can also consider a Linksys WRT160N but its a little above my budget.

    My main usage would be to connect my desktop and laptop to the router.

    Desktop as a download rig while laptop as surfing.



    I connect thru a cable net system which is a dial-up based on dynamic IP generation. Cud this be an issue?



    The reason i have to choose between these 4 is coz i got a gift certificate from india times which has more or less these models.



    Your suggestions are welcome..thanks

    Netgears one's are decent but dont have that good range + dont support modding with custom firmware . Better get the DLink/Linksys

    +1 Go get it.



    Dont worry about it being old, the G spec hasnt got no revisions since. Also the Tomato is a fairly potent fimmware to boot.



    Its one solid fugly looking monster with a stumptuos 8MB of Flash.

    If you think thats an older technology, go for Linksys WRT54G2. Again a G based router but a newer model if thats what you are looking out for.

    Go for the Linksys. I have been using a WAG200G (similar specs as WRT54G) for over 2 years and its a sexy unit. Setup and running is a breeze.
