Thinking of getting a wireless router to simplify ADSL connection sharing
between 2 PCs on 2 different floors.

Looking at the Linksys WAG54G, looks well prices, seems to do all I need
and comes with a free 54g PC Card that I could sell to offset the cost a
little :-)

I tend to use "normal" internet apps, some p2p utils, don't run any
servers, probably won't but I guess pretty much any/all routers these days
do port-forwarding?

I've been using one of these fronting up my home network (run my own
Fedora FC2 Linux web/email server, my wife's Windows XP machine and my
son's Dell 8300 XP Pro). It's an absolutely fabulous piece of kit -
stays up 24/7 and was very simple to set up. We have it bolted onto a BT
Business Broadband 500 connection. Fixed IP address in our case, but the
unit works well with dynDNS out of the box if that's more desirable.

The only gotcha is that when you update the firmware, you have to enter
all your set-up parameters again by hand. That apart, we're delighted
with it.

No connection other than as a happy customer ;-)

Been using one for several months - hassle free. Never bothered updating
the firmware, no need.

months now. No problems with it at all.

Like the others say - fine bit of kit.

Have two in use daily by homeworkers - not had a problem since install.

Linksys technical support is (or rather was a year ago) totally abysmal.
However, I've not needed it for this bit of kit.
