Jerry,

You might want to consider getting a WRT54GL and upgrading the firmware

... some of the 3rd party firmwares for the 54G are pretty nice."

Thanks for the info David.

Just a word of caution when you go shopping. The L suffix (for Linux) in
the product name is crucial to the ability to do this. The standard WRT54G
cannot be reflashed with the various 3rd party firmwares out there. The L
models were introduced by Linksys after customer backlash when design
changes around v4 or v5 made it impossible to reflash with 3rd party
firmwares.
