I've experienced it personally with Linksys and other standalone routers. So far, I have not heard them complain of any Internet outages due to their router. And from what I've heard, certain versions or maybe all of the WRT54G gets really crappy when you have a specific amount of simultaneous transfers going on.
Where a PC-based router will help, is, as I mentioned, not crapping out with lots of transfers. You can always put in another NIC into your Celeron system, and make yourself a bootable BrazilFW floppy or USB key, and use it without even touching your Ubuntu install to see if it helps with your torrents or not.
But of course, downloading a lot at or near your WAN capacity will still cause some noticeable slow downs just because you are using lots of your down BW. And if there are lots of people uploading from you near your max up speed, then you don't have as much up BW to send SYN and ACK packets for your downloads. Dec 3, 24, 35 Jul 31, 1, 0 0.

I've got 50 bucks to blow at Best Buy that expires in a couple of weeks that I can put toward a new router. We do have some range issues with it and we have to power cycle it once in a while, but it's been an OK router. I've been reading on this forum and on-line, and a few router names keep popping up.
I'm not a "network guy" so I'm not looking for something necessarily fancy. I just need something that is fast, with good range, that I can plug 4 computers directly into, and that can connect to the MANY devices in my household that use wireless 4 laptops, Sony Dash, PS3, 4 tablets, 1 TV, 2 cell phones, 3 iPod Touch. I need the router I guess to be backward compatible to connect to all of these devices.
Is it worth it for the Is that good enough or should I be looking at What do I really need? Netgear R pops up quite a bit too as a Buffalo WZRH pops up too, and it's a lot cheaper. If the knowledgeable people on this forum could point out a good router that will do everything my old router does, but better, and still work with all of my devices, that would be great! Thanks, and Merry Christmas! Mar 12, 14, 1 51, 1, All routers are backwards compatible and you do want to get a router that has simultanious dual band so that your getting a full mix of signals being accessed.
There will be other more minor vulnerabilities as well. I get taken to task for saying that. You can run a generic Broadcom build if it fits in the flash memory.
That means a micro or a mini build. Then navigate to Broadcom, and pick a micro generic build or the plain mini build.
You can also use one as a switch , after disabling the wireless functionality and the DHCP server. She never left. Sohl originally had a bunch of roles, as is typical at small companies, working in public relations, advertising, and running channel programs. She is now director of global communications for Belkin, which purchased Linksys from Cisco in Linksys also sold wireless routers using the earlier Before Linksys started selling wireless routers, the company sold consumer routers without wireless capability, which could be used to connect a computer and a printer or a couple of computers in a home office.
Before selling routers, Linksys offered a home networking kit with a 5-port switch and two LAN cards, but Linksys co-founder Victor Tsao "decided he wanted to take an enterprise-grade router and repurpose it and make a solution for computers to share an Internet connection," Sohl said. Linksys previewed its first consumer router at the COMDEX computer industry conference in November , before its official launch, but at the time was calling it an "Integrated Internet Hub.
La Duca has only been with Linksys for about three years, but his first non-wireless router was a Linksys, which he used to get two PCs in his house connected to the Internet. It started with a bad decision: Cisco replaced the Linux-based firmware with the VxWorks platform, making it very difficult to flash with open source firmware. Though it was a black eye for the company, Sohl said that "what could have been a really awful situation ended up being a positive, because it enabled us to do a lot of learning and get closer to the community.
Linksys' relationship with the open source community remains strong today, with no better example than its recent collaboration with developers of OpenWrt and chipmaker Marvell.
