ok, i appreciate your inputs. however, i'm in a tight budget, that is why i chose WRT54G, and since my house is not that big, i figure, it would fit my need. as for the price, i checked the price of Netgear vs. D-Link vs. Linksys, i guess i could shed another 200 bucks. also, its the construction of the Linksys - its robust and sturdy.

all and still, i'll have to read more later.

just keep your comments coming, i really appreciate it.
