NetGear WGR614 -- four 10/100 ports plus 802.11g wireless (which is compatible with 802.11b). You can find them for around $100, though list price is $150.

I am actualy having the exact same problem, I just bought SWG (star wars galaxies) and kept getting dropouts every 10 minutes. So I read that the latest firmware fixed it. Now I cant connect at all.

I even had martin log into my router and try setting it up but no avail.

A buddy of mine has a LinkSys router, and has had endless problems with it. He hates it, but is being stubborn about getting a new one. I, on the other hand, have NetGear products (NetGear being a subsidiary of Bay Networks, one of Cisco's chief rivals), and have had no problems with them.

NetGear's more industrial blue metal look looks cooler, anyway. :)

BAH! Get the Microsoft MN-100, especially you Zen! It's one of the 4 XBox Live compatible routers, the other XBL routers are the MN-500 (I have that one, but only because I got it dirt cheap) and 2 D-Link routers which I have heard aren't very reliable routers ingeneral.

I've had absolutely no problems with my router (that weren't self inflicted "oh, what does this option do...")
