I bought one of the new linksys routers the day they came out only to find that they were uncompatable with Vista. Im going to stick with my old WRT54G with external antennas and no firewall. Adding extra security to these routers is just going to cause more people to have to spend hours and go through multiple technicians at linksys customer care to figure out how the hell to get the damn router to let them go to the sites they want.
@AJ_Syrinx: Actually, some of the Linksys routers are insanely bad with Vista.
My latest Linksys experience is with a WRT110N that goes absolutely batshit crazy any time a Vista computer tries to connect wirelessly. Anyone who was previously connected, gets booted, never to return. And, it's still a crapshoot on whether or not the Vista machine is going to maintain a connection.
I wouldn't doubt that other Linksys routers in the lineup have the same or similar problems.
