So a glass of wine gets spilled on my Belkin wireless router and it dies. Hurrah! Time for a new, and hopefully better wireless router. The options are seemingly endless these days, and they are cheap too. There was, however, only one choice. Once you've seen the Linksys WTR54GS you'll fall in love with it. It's absolutely tiny, and yet the PSU is integrated so no unsightly power brick (this is one of the aspects of the NEC 93v 19" monitor I have at work that I really like). The underside of my computer desk is awash with power bricks, so losing one is great.
Oddly, I didn't want it because I want to use it away from home (although the option is now a practical one if I do). I just wanted to save space and boy does this ever fit the bill. Looks cool too. Get one.
One word of caution - doesn't work well with VPN - still working on that.

I've been using Linksys routers for nearly 3 years now at home, at work and at church. I'm totally disillusioned. Linksys is a subsidiary of Cisco. They ought to know how to build routers. We've had endless troubles with these boxes (WR*54*), both hardware and firmware. Since I've started installing D-Link my problems have been solved!
