I researched routers about 6 months ago. Seems the crowd at the
time thought the ASUS RT-N16 was the best deal going. I run one
with Tomato but I know the DD-WRT folks also like it. I don't
know if Fry's handles it locally, but it's worth the wait if you
can't get it locally.<br>

I'm having some real flakiness issues with my DSL modem this
morning. I'm not sure if it is Atlantic Nexus or just modem that is
flaking out. Once I get some traffic going the DSL connection
drops and comes back after a minute. <br>
<br>
I think it is time to replace it so I'm going to look at routers
that have built-in ADSL2+.<br>
