So I guess I am sticking with my router. I guess you can't go by looks.

The default firmware for Linksys (and all replacement firmwares except for one) have a severe problem where they track old connections for FIVE days, which causes the router to hang when using P2P apps, or any software that generates a lot of connections. DHT only aggravates the situation because of the number of connections it generates.
Never, ever had that problem.

I wonder why I'm the only one here who has had absolutely no problems with their linksys router.... The only thing that can get messed up is the wireless signal at times (looses strength).

I have a linksys router and it works fine Although, it is not wireless. I wanted to get a wireless, but from some reason they dont work in my house.

It's only the WRT54G "Wireless Router 54G" that is manufactured by Linksys that has that problem. And I think, although not positive, even then only version 5+ are messed up. I have V.5.

Update:
I just ordered this: The Apple Store (U.S.) - AirPort Extreme Base Station with Gigabit Ethernet
I'm so happy I wont have this forsaken Linksys router for much longer...
