Ask Slashdot: Life Beyond the WRT54G Series?

Posted by timothy on Friday August 8, 2014 @08:46AM from the blue-pill-that-stacks-neatly dept.

First time accepted submitter jarmund (2752233) writes "I first got a WRT54GL in 2007. Now, 7 years later, it's still churning along, despite only having one of its antennae left after an encounter with a toddler. As it is simply not up to date to today's standards (802.11N for example), what is a worthy successor? I enjoyed the freedom to choose the firmware myself (I've run Tomato on it since 2008), in addition to its robustness. A replacement will be considered second-rate unless it catered for the same freedom as its predecessor." Is there a canonical best household router nowadays?

Comcast Xfinity Wireless Router by Anonymous Coward · 2014-08-08 08:50 · Score: -1, Funny

The new Comcast Xfinity wireless solution is what I have at home and it totally rocks. It does everything I need it to do well, and I never have any problems with it. I would recommend it if you are lucky enough to have Comcast internet offered in your neck of the woods.

  And, like any STI, it's guaranteed you'll never get rid of Comcast, too!
