Router - specific IP address for specific devices
Hi all

I've had a Netgear WGR614v6 for years and years now, and it suits me pretty well except for 3 things:
  1. It's wireless G
  2. It sometimes wont hand out IP addresses
  3. Although it supposedly can allow you to specify a particular IP address to a specific device, it usually just allocates the next available one instead. This is a real pain for connecting media streamers and FTP

So I need an N router that can do all those (connecting to my 10Mbs VM modem)

Anyone got any recommendations?

This Buffallo WHR-G300NV2 looks like a possibility, but I can't figure out if you can force allocate IP addresses, and if so whether it actually works

Does anyone use it?

Edit: I don't care that it isn't Gigabit as I'll only be using it with wifi or cabled to a media streamer that can only do 100Mbs anyway

Thanks
