router suggestions?

[foamy]

Hi guys, haven't been here much lately, as I've been travelling... When I got home, I found out my router has been failing a lot (especially when running Windoze Update) so I figured it's time to get a new one... The one I have now is a Linksys BEFSX41 and it has worked quite well ... I only have three machines connected (no wireless!) and sometimes a fourth ...

Now here's my question:
could you suggest a good, reasonably priced router for me, that will offer some decent performance and some kind of basic security (maybe a little better than what I have now) ... I've been thinking about the ASUS RX3141 but I can't find any reviews...

Thanks!

I forgot the model number, but the Netgear Pre-N with gigabit ethernet is pretty good.

As for security, almost all of the newer routers are capable of WPA2. Use a random character generator to create the 64 character passkey and you're pretty much invulnerable. WEP is a joke BTW, any wardriver can crack that in like 10 minutes.

like I said, no wireless I know all about the security on those, and it can all be cracked far too easily for me to want it in my home... what I'm looking for security wise is just a decent hardware-based firewall... Thanks for the reply though

I don't know whereabouts you are based, but if you want a cheap and simple router, I have heard quite good things about this one

Ah, the good old BR6104K. I have one somewhere at home, athough it's had USB ports added and Linux installed on it...

The ASUS also has gigabit, if you have any gigabit clients.

well my two stationary rigs have gigabit..

how are these two in terms of reliability? I need one machine running 24/7 so I don't want any iffy business like I'm experiencing now
