Hey,

I was just looking for recommendations for a replacement for my old D-link
wireless router.  I think it has some issues that would best be resolved by
replacement.  Right now I have a Linux machine, (presently running OpenSUSE,
but soon to be running either Ubuntu or a derivative.) as well as a Windows
machine (dual-booting Vista *cough* and XP Pro).  I also have a little
Netgear Skype Phone that hasn't been working as advertised, but I think this
problem may involve the router, at least partially.  Also, I am on
TimeWarner Cable for internet.  If I can't use the phone I won't be so
upset, but I want internet access to both of the computers. I use my router
as my primary firewall as well.  It doesn't need wireless as all I have are
desktops, but it wouldn't be a bad thing to have available for the future if
it doesn't add too much to the price.  I was just wondering, who plays
nicest with the open source community? What's fairly inexpensive, and should
reliably meet my needs?

Thanks,

Amy
