Hi

My Linksys WRT54G(?) v4 is failing me. I'm having to reset it every one or 2 days as the speeds to it just drop.

When it works it works really well. When it doesn't work, it won't even respond to a ping.

I thought about updating the firmware to one of the 3rd party ones. DDWRT maybe? I also thought about upgrading to 802.11n. I would like to stay with Linksys and firstly looked at the WRT350n. Very nice, available from Ebuyer. Then I saw WRT600n. This also sounds tasty. What I read about it on the Linksys site sound very impressive but I can't find it for sale anywhere.

I know I'm not very patient when searching, but all my usual places don't seem to have this router in stock, some saying that it hasn't been released yet. It was announced at the end of 2006 though (unless the dates are wrong on that website).

So, my questions are...

Where can I get a WRT600N from? Is it available yet? What's the release date? Does anyone else have one (or a WRT350N)? Do they come recommended?

Does anyone have any other recommendations?
