WRT54GS

WRT350N

WRT600N

I know the 54 G is awesome... and the GS is supposedly faster... what's the GL?

And I've read so many TERRIBLE reviews on their N series stuff... and my mothers laptop can NOT connect to the 350N setup at their house...

What router would you guys recommend? I do heavy downloading and gaming.

GL was a re-released G since they stopped making the G with Linux installed so you could no longer install alt firmwares. After getting lots of bad press the GL emerged and the world cried with joy.

My GL runs Tomato and has done since purchase. Super stuff.

honestly I like the N router we have at my girl's place. It's the 300N and it's been great. TONS of features in this unit and fantastic reception on wireless. I can actually use it from my parking spot in my car, at least 150 feet away from the apartment, and on the opposite side of the building from our place. It's nice because then I can easily transfer music from my desktop to my hard drive that's hooked up to my stereo in the car.

The 54G (and GL) are great too though. Not really as good feature-wise (definitely flash tomato on if you want some extra features) but they're sturdy. I have them installed in a few small businesses and have 2 hooked up together here at my place (one upstairs one downstairs)

    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns

      Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.
