That should read, "Linksys". LOL So far as a solution to replace my FVG318 router, I'm considering:
1) Cisco RV082, (eg http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9926/index.html ). Pros: It has lots of features and probably has a much stronger/faster cpu than a cheaper router. Cons: It doesn't have wireless, but I suppose I could connect my Linksys to one of its ports for wireless connections, should the need arise. It doesn't support gigabyte. It would be more complex and take longer to setup/program/maintain. 2) Keep my old Linksys WRT54GSV4 router and buy a gigabyte switch, (eg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124020 ). I have cat 6 running off my mediaserver and PS3, and both have gigabyte RJ45 10/100/1000 ports. I would connect the switch to one of the ports on my WRT54 router. Pros: This would be a cheap solution. Cons: I wouldn't get the features and better computer hardware built into the Cisco RV082. 3) Go with a cheap simple solution like: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124022&cm_re=linksys_8_port-_-33-124-022-_-Product 4) I still need to look into the Draytek routers. The ideal solution with be a gigabyte router with good hardware, including a strong cpu, wireless, at least 8 gigabit ports, good software with lots of features, and a workable GUI.
