I've been using linksys for a couple of years, but it seems like they stop updating their firmware after a certain period of time goes by for devices they make. They also seem to make almost too many varieties of the same hardware, which can cause a little bit of confusion when looking for drivers.

I've messed around with a dlink before, but I'd have to say that I like the internal configuration web pages layout on the linksys.

I am wanting to upgrade my network to something faster and more reliable (as this wireless B is just a pain, as well as much more insecure). However, I might actually decide to simply run cat 5 cables through my attic to each room (keystone jacks and everything) as this would probably be cheaper than upgrading the PC, replacing the router, and replacing the wireless card on my laptop. So, cost is in the mix. I'll stay wireless if it's cheap enough and if I don't have to expect screwing around with it for hours because of some sort of bug or bad firmware.

Also, I am wanting to convert all of my computers over to linux and would like a brand of wireless adapter that is known to support linux well.

I have had dlink for about 4 years all ok

I went to the trouble of running CAT5e all over, because I was not interested in trying to get wireless working reliabily in a 5000sq/ft house. The only wireless in use is my laptop, and I have a wireless adapter in on of my machines so I can look at the wireless client and answer questions.

If the option exists, I'd be going wired where ever possible, you'll be MUCH happier with the stability and speed of the network.
