    My trendnet wireless N router decided that it needs to stop working several times a day and requires a manual reset every time.

    So I'm looking for suggestions on brands or makes. Has to have wireless N and Ethernet ports and be reliable.

    im pretty satisfied with my netgear wnr2000v2

    i havent even flashed ddwrt because the stock firmware is fine. and i experience no torrent lockups. usually when you torrent alot the router will lockup and need a reboot.
    the router is both cheap, and stylish, doesnt have a million ugly antenna sticking out. doubt i go back to linksys/cisco anytime soon. although their new models look awesome.

    Have you seen the new Asus routers? Can't believe this myself but according to wiki the RT-N76U has 2gb of ram in it 480mhz and the RT-N66U has 1gb ram and 600mhz processor.
    I'm holding out for when these come out. Even though I know it's overkill and the one MSP recommends is great.

    I have the same one as MSP (Asus N16) and it is fucking great. I run DDWRT on it and I couldn't be happier. Also holy fuck @ the N66 and N76!
