My WRT54GL has finally decided to stop functioning properly. So im in need of a new router.

What it needs;
Wireless N
Gigabit Ethernet ports (Preferably)
Be able to run Tomato firmware
Be able to handle lots of connections at once (something that the 54GL did well)

I was thinking of the WNR500L >> http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=NW-136-NG

Any thoughts?

Many thanks.
 
I can't see them on OCUK. I had a quick google and they seem to retail for around £100. Are they better than the WNR3500?
 
Ahh nice one. I had heard of it before, how easy is it to flash? I hear it can hold a substantial amount of connections at once, far more than the 54GL? 1 last thing, would this be capable of the future 100meg virgin service? Currently on 20, but going to 50 soon hopefully and then eventually 100 :)
 
Nice, I have ordered one today. Will be here tomorrow! :) Got it for £100 inc delivery and insurance against me messing things up :)
 
I downloaded the correct version (I think) but am having some problems with port forwarding. I had a friend over today with his PC and it gave us both open nat as the 54GL did, but it would randomly decide that we couldnt connect to one another. It also randomly doesnt give great download, peaks at around 15meg apposed to 20. (I used to get 19.6/19.8 24/7) so I think it is more than a coincidence.

Can someone directly link me to the best/most stable version of tomato for the RT N16 please?
 
The problem was over wifi and LAN, I have set it to 20mhz only anyway, gets better wireless speeds with my wireless devices.

Am going to load the Victeks RAF mod on it tonight and see how it goes.
