Which router.

[bothered]

Hi all,
I have always used Linksys routers with no problem but I have seen things on here that suggest some of the newer models aren't as good as they used to be. I am looking to get my Daughter one, mainly for the NAT, and would really prefer a Linksys as I'm used to the set up. There will only be a laptop connected wirelessly for the foreseeable future.
Which one?
Thanks all.

That is the one I have. And I do love it.
Are these two the same? they have a different manufacturers number but seem to be the same one.:confused:

They are not the same, the GL means it's running a linux based OS, so you can hack it with alternative firmwares.

However if you aren't planning on hacking the firmware then either will do what you need it to do.
