I'm also very happy with the WRT54G. The nice thing is that Linksys (aka
Cisco) not only GPLs the source code for it, so that others can make
changes, but they are receptive to those changes, and many actually find
their way back into the Linksys code. Setup is a breeze, thanks to the
web interface, and it's really fast; works like a charm with my IBM
ThinkPad R51 (built-in 802.11g), and supports WEP, WPA, and MAC address
filtering, so you have a high degree of security and control over who
can access it. It hasn't locked up on me once, either; wish I could say
the same for my Linksys cable modem ... :-/
