Which wireless router sould I get? I need to get all the
cables out of the way so my daughter dosn't DESTROY
everything. I want something I can plug a hard-drive into
and something that is easy to port-forward etc etc

Cheers

I've got a d-link piece of shit at the moment that my isp
gave me when i first joined up. I can't configure it
properly so d/ling torrents just slows the whole thing.

I need an external hd to hold my movies, music etc but want
tobe able to move around the house without dragging the HD
with me. My mate has one plugged into his router.

I'm not up to speed with hardware so I'm hoping a tech-head
will step in and tell me what to get :) I need Elusive to
post in this thread!

thanks for the response

get your hands on an old neatgear wrt54g v5 or earlier, then
load the linux firmware dd-wrt. it allows you tons more
options (mac address-based ip filtering, better firewall
preferences, in-router ad blocking, etc) and increases the
stability of it as well.

just make sure to get one while is v5 or earlier, because
after v5 they made it so you brick your router if you
attempt to install third party firmware.

and is that easy to do, getting the firm-ware?

Is there nothing of the shelf that will do the trick?

by netgear i meant linksys, and no, there really aren't any
stock firmwares which match the power of the open
alternatives.
