Linksys WAG54G Wireless Router

I have that router and its poor - really poor. You have to muck around for ages to find a firmware version that works and disable a lot of features or it gets too hot and stroppy dropping you out. (uPnP for example)

Single or Multiple Port Forwarding is screwed on most F/W versions, the wireless keeps dropping out, it reboots the ADSL connection or the box upon changing settings and the distance you can move around it poor (i cant even goto my front room without signal issues and i live in a 1 bed flat.)

NOT recommended.

I *believe* the V2 boxes are a bit better - but - i wouldnt recommend it after the issues i have had with my v1.2.
