[Solved]Routers and Linux

[uncle mark]

Netgear, hands down. I use a WNDR3400 myself, have a higher end Netgear in service at my workplace, and have recommended and installed Netgear in homes of people I support. Additionally, I have Netgear range extenders in both my home and workplace, and have had very good luck with them. I personally recommend going a step or two above the bottom end consumer models; you pay more, but stability and longevity make it worthwhile. JME. YMMV.

I suppose it also depends on where you're located and what's available. We have a Fritzbox 7490 with full access via CP. Features include 2 USB 3 ports, 4x Gigabit LAN, Wifi everything including AC, Speed throtteling if you're into that, Phone & hardware/FAX support, Separate guest accounts for other users, etc. etc. We love it, had it for the past 3 years now.
Before that we used a Netgear N600 Router, also very fast & nice, but not compatible with separate phone hardware.
We hard-wire everything for security reasons. I only use Wifi for client machines (temporarily of course).

Want to say thanks folks for your suggestions. I picked up a Netgear router. Overall not terrible to set up, had one glitch where it did not want to accept the default admin password, so it asked me two security questions I gave it during setup, thankfully I remembered my answers as I usually don't pay much attention to those, and of course it then gave me the same admin user and password it had rejected. But working fine now.
Thanks again for your help!

What model?

Netgear AC750

But it was about $20 less at my local Walmart. I figure if I didn't like it, or have trouble I have 15 days to return it. But so far so good :)
