I'm in the market looking for the best gateway for my torrenting needs. I have a linksys WAG200G that's been giving me tons of issues, all kinds of disconnecting/freezing/wierd stuff with or without bittorenet running. It was working fine for 8 months though, just started acting up last couple of weeks. I've tried flashing latest linksys firmware, ( dd-wrt not supported Crying or Very sad ) resseting..ect to no avail. So I've decided to look for a different one. But I need something that can handle bittorent traffic with no bitching.. max $$ is $150, cheaper is better of cource.
Or I can just go for a dsl modem since I already have a WRT54G V5 flashed with dd-wrt v23 setting here collecting dust. In this case, what's the best one to go for? I've tried a tplink dsl modem last year and it's a piece of garbage..

Any recommendations? thanks Smile

Loos like you can only get this modem through ISP's only, I'm looking for off the shelf modem or gateway recommendations..

theres the model i got. It also has a really nice portal page built into it. could call your ISP and see if they'll let you use it, it's all i did with mine, told em i got a new modem off ebay and need to setup the modem and they gave me all the info to do it. (still had previous owners info on it)
