    Is the buffalo kit any good? We use their NAS boxes at work and never had a problem but was looking into their routers with the AOSS on it. Any horror stories with em or are they generally good running routers.

    Dude, get the Linksys WRT54GL. It's rock solid. It's £39.99 from Amazon with free delivery, and the Buffalo is £36.10 inc postage from Broadbandbuyer

    I've been using this Buffalo for over 4 years and it's been rock solid. I was running the stock firmware for a long time, but I'm glad I upgraded to the DD-WRT firmware.

    Can't fault it.
    Same here, top bit of kit and as it's on the same broadcom chipset as the Linksys it can use the DD-WRT hacked firmware, they even sell them with it already installed

    What did you gain by going to the new firmware
