Just letting people know about my experience with this router.
I initially bought it because you know, its Linksys. I didnt know much about routers or anything and a lot of people seemed to recommend it. It worked very well at first and then suddenly my internet came to a crawl. I thought it was the line, but when I connected directly to the modem, it was fast and everything was dandy. I began to think, this thing is a piece of $hi+.
Turns out that this router and practically other ones from Netgear don't like bittorrent too much. Too many connections and it overloads or something. So every few days, I would had to do hard reset on both the modem and router. Finally, after 6-7 months, Linksys came out with a new firmware. It helped, but eventually it succummed after about 2 months of heavy bittorrenting :-D.
I started researching into alternatives then I came across Linksysinfo.org. I browsed around and saw that Thibor 15c seemed to fix a lot of peoples problems and stayed to the original firmware as close as possible with a lot of neat stuff like bridging mode, QoS, additional firewall features, etc... Needless to say, I love it so far.
I will do some runs with wifi and see if my connection drops like it did with the original and do more heavy p2p and see if it will bring it down on its knees. But for now, Thibor 15c + WRT54G V.4 or below = STABILITY
