Very good, It's good to hear that the Buffalo FW may be more reliable
for those who don't flash over to DD-WRT.

Probably I needed to look over the Buffalo FW more closely, it was a
quick first impression/examination before I flashed it.

I should have said, "As a relative beginner, it was more difficult to
setup" IIRC, I was struggling to understand strange settings that the
linksys didn't have before I realized that it was defaulting to
another basic mode for the WAN (not the common one, I forget the
terms). Other things about the Buffalo FW also struck me as off, but I
forget. I mostly remember thinking; "this is why the magazines picked
the Linksys over the Buffalo in the reviews I read- the interface is a
bit confusing"

The Linksys worked right out of the box back when I knew even less.

It's the kind of thing that an experienced user would never even
notice. It only took me a few extra brain cells to get it right anyway
! And once you sort out the setup, the reliability is all that
matters.

Don't get me wrong, though. I am replacing our WRT-54GV5 with the
Buffalo. I like it better!

Cheers,
