Hi, My venerable Linksys WRT54GC has finally bit the dust. About a year ago knowing the Linksys was aging I bought a Netgear WGR614 v9 that was on sale at Newegg as a backup. So I made the swap, what a disappointment, hardwired it is getting 10 to 15 Mbps less than my old Linksys. A couple of years ago I was looking to replace the old Linksys and asked for a recommendation here, and glc said I should use the Linksys till it quit as the new routers weren't as good. Well now I'm looking for a faster one than this Netgear, is there anything out there which performs well without spending a fortune. TIA
