What "duopoly" of router manufacturers?
Everyone is talking about going for Linksys, Netgear, D-Link or Belkin, (or Asus) or having to build your own...
There are many other GREAT router manufacturers out there that don't make the dumbed-down interfaces that Linksys etc are known for...
Some of my favorites:
Ubiquiti
Mikrotik
Engenius
Just by a piece of CPE and configure it to your needs...
You'll find that their Wi-Fi radio is about 20x more powerful than the average Linksys (400mw instead of 20mw), and you have more adjustments available than on a typical consumer router. Plus, they don't crash.
