dafman: My old D-Link DIR300 g router has died and I am looking for a good home n router to replace it. I like the look of the Netgear Wireless N Router Model: WRN2000 ($119 at Dick Smith) but after looking at reviews on the net it looks like this is now an aging model. Is is a good buy, or is there a newer router out there with better all around performance? Any help greatly appreciated.

theEd: +1 for the E4200. Nice box.
Hammerer: However, I don't like its software setup which requires me to use their Cisco Connect software.

You can bypass that and just use web interface. The IP is 192.168.1.1 (most cases) and login is admin/admin usually otherwise admin/password.

Unfortunately, Cisco Connect does not support all configurations and certain configurations can only be set with Cisco Connect. From memory, one of the problems was as basic as wanting to have different passwords for the router and WIFI access. That prevented use of Cisco Connect which expects one password. That's when I discovered the other issue which I confirmed in their documentation.

Once you got the actual web management access, why would you need Cisco Connect. The whole point is ditch Cisco Connect software and do it all through the web interface.
KiwiNZ: I finally settled on an Apple Airport Extreme. It has never missed a beat.
