This is my favorite "Under $100.00 router". I've setup hundreds of them. Good performance, problem free.

..As long as you use the correct firmware. Trusty old 1.45.7 is very stable. Stay away from 1.50x versions, 1.51x versions, and most 1.52x versions....1.52.9 is "OK"...has a UPnP memory leak, but most of it is OK.
