Re: Wireless Networking... help!
The only time i have rebooted my WRT54G is when I had to perform a full reset because I had lost the password.

It occasionally gets rebooted as a result of power cuts in the area but it has been a set and forget product.

Linksys has a wireless gaming adaptor which is supposed to be good for connecting PS2 / XBox etc

The router has some whizzy thing on it that allows port setup easily for gaming and the like. Any other wireless device will connect to it (I have an apple AirPortExpress connected to mine streaming itunes).

Bandwith limitations and QoS are not part of the functionality, you would need to do this at a desktop level. I'm not a gamer, but I have not noticed performance issues with multiple access, even when shifting 70Mb of files from one internal PC to another and then running a backup (so shifting it again to a backup drive), or while streaming itunes wirelessly to the HiFi and surfing / working on docs.

The only time the connection seems to drop on me is when opening 100+Mb Outlook PST files.

So I would still state that the WRT54G will fit the bill but it's your benjamins
