The NetGear is a solid router...only thing is it has issues (random WAN client booting) with hosting games based on the Unreal Tournament engine, including Rune. Else, everthing else it's strong on.

Most stable and fastest I've tested is a Netopia R series....damn strong router. (but near 300 bucks, and a little harder to setup than home market routers)

Nexland is also pretty good for hosting...very fast.

Anything else from the home router market won't really cut it.

thats exactly what i need to know has anyone had any booting problems with either of those routers you listed above...since I will be hosting a dedicated server game... I would want a router that doesn't boot anyone!!!

There's always the Cisco 806. I've seen it for as low as $250.
