I have owned about 7 routers in my life. Some have been better than others, but all seem to have some sort of issue. Most worked reasonably well but a high number of connections or high network traffic would crash them. Their setup interfaces were ok, but were slow and needed to be restarted even after the slightest change. I even tried installing custom firmware, which gave me new features but did not really improve performance.My new router, the TP-LINK TL-WR541G has been running without a reset or slowdown for about a month. Additionally it seems like you dont need to constantly reset it while making many changes to the settings. The remarkable thing is that it only costs 25 dollars! This actually almost turned me off to buying it. The box said TP link is the number one market share in China, and it turns out they make a number of other networking products.
