I've been using a Linksys wireless router for years and it's been rock
sold, especially since I put it and the cable modem on a UPS. Apparently
they were very susceptible to power burps. I decided to try and upgrade
to 802.11N with a new D-Link DIR-628 since Time Machine backups over
wireless were starting to take a while. It worked nice, when it worked.
For some reason the thing would just drop all connections at random
points about once a day or so and the only way to get it running again
was to pull the plug to cycle the power. After about a month of this I
went back to the Linksys. Slower, but at least I didn't have to head to
the basement ever other day to reboot the thing. Now I'm not sure what
to do with the D-Link. Maybe it doesn't like Macs. Maybe there is a
firmware update. Haven't had time to waste on it lately. Oh, and the
Linksys and the D-Link are all configured via a web browser so not
really a problem getting stuff done with voiceover.

If you're not using a 2wire modem from verizon already, I definitely

That said I've been using this 2wire for a while and it's been a long
time since I fiddled with a linksys router. But when I did, it was
completely accessible all the way, at least under windows.

Hi all, well, I might be looking at getting a new router, mine has
started having some strange problems, so it may be going bad, was
wondering which routers are the most accessible with their web
interfaces. I know the linksys routers work well, what about net geer,
belkin or d-link? I've heard some routers use a capcha now to get in
to their configurations, that is nuts.
