Hi Kevin,
Thank you for the welcome and the info. Can you please explain:
- what is the difference between the different models (G, GS, GL)? Which one is "best" and which the most "up-to-date"?
- do Linksys models suffer from a similar "version plague" like the Netgear WGT624 (i.e. do I need to be 100% sure which version I am buying?)?
- I am not sure what "third party router firmware" is (I understand the phrase but I can't see why I would want to go down that route).
Many thanks for your time!

Hello,
Thank you for the response. Are the two companies linked? (both using the same number for their models seems quite strange). If they are the same thing only in different package, I wonder if the D-Link would have similar Netgear-type unreliability issues.
Many thanks.

EDIT: Also a question to both of you. Do these routers offer firewall/security features similar/equivalent to the Netgear model?
