Computer Question - Anyone know of a good router?
I'm looking for a good router(don't need wireless, necessarily) for my home network. Actually, it's not much of a network. Just my computer and my Playstation 2 will be on it. I need something that works well with the PS2, is good quality, and is not too expensive. Suggestions?

Oh, I forgot to mention why I'm looking. I have had this D -link DI 604 router that I bought from Best Buy a couple years ago. It works fine for some online gaming but, not all. For instance, I have no problems with Everquest. But for games like Call of Duty: Finest hour, I have trouble connecting to the host most of the time, I sometimes have trouble hearing the other players with headsets, and always seem to get cut off about 5-10 minutes into the game.

I have setup my PS2 IP address to the DMZ. So, I shouldn't be having any of these problems. Firmware is latest (ver. 2.20, 8-03). I'm at my wits end with this thing and I'm thinking that this router is just crap.

I have this same router. I've never updated the firmware and never had any problems but don't do any serious gaming online though my son is just now starting to get his feet wet with it.

Is there a good reason to update the firmware?

Usually .. BUT NOT ALWAYS... there are patches for stability and security in updates ... but as it says on most sites for flashing anything:

"If it's working don't fix it" !!

Then again I am for flashing anything with the latest firmware. UNLESS it is old and a POS in my evalution of it!

Ugh, D-Link is the worst.

Linksys is great, Ive never had any problems with it.

Never used anything other than Linksys at home. Superb product and support.

What model? How old is it? What condition is it in? Why are you selling it?

oops, it's an 8 port. It's at least 3 years old and hasn't been used in the past year. I bought a wireless linksys when one of the ports on this one went bad, but other than that, there's not a thing wrong with it. If there is, you have nothing to lose....

Bah, I'm not a linksys fan. They break fairly easily.

Netgear makes some very quality routers. I'd suggest this guy:
