I used to be a hardcore Linksys supporter but..my last TWO linksys routers have not lasted me more than a year as far as stability and I can't afford a new router every other year or the headaches they cause.

SO my question is about D-Link I think this is what I want to try now. I'm looking at the DI-624 or DI-524, circuit city has them for $40 and $20 respectively after rebates. I won't have any D-Link wireless cards to start so the 108mb isn't a big deal to me right now...but I've read other good things about the 624 unit. There is a possibility that "someday" I might put my wife's PC on the wireless but it would have to be dead on stable for her mmo gaming. Anyway for PC's as said I have a PC for my wife that I built, and I mainly use my laptop now. Generally with my current router I have had to keep wireless disabled and plug my laptop in but would be nice to have less cat5/6 laying around and would be nice to sit on the couch in the other room (wirelessly) sometimes. I guess I'm not sure what model is "better"? Do I go cheaper or should I go with the higher unit...I want something STABLE that will last a couple years and has good througput both wired and wirelessly. Doing tests with my broadband and my screwy router now there is a definate hinderance in bandwidth tests.
Let 'em fly!
thanks
