OK, it's not the power supply. The WRT54G v1 has a plug in MinPCI
card inside for the radio section. I fixed one that had somehow
fallen out of its socket. Shake the box. Duz it rattle?

I hate giving recommendations when I have no clue it's going to be
used, how many users, how much bandwidth required, gaming, Bitorrent,
VPN, and other apps, and price limit. If you must, my favorite of the
week is Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 with DD-WRT v23 SP2 firmware:

I've been playing with one at home and it seems to have a generally
better radio section than my WRT54GS v3.0 router. Since the DD-WRT
firmware is the same in both my Linksys and Buffalo, the feature sets
are identical.

Disclaimer: I make no guarantee that my crystal ball can deduce your
requirements or that my guesswork can satisfy them. Also, my
recommendations may change as new equipment and new bugs are released.
