[ale] ??Recomendations for new wireless router??

[Thompson Freeman]

I haven't quite convinced myself yet, but it looks like my  
Linksys travel AP/router has died. Or at least the wireless  
access portion of it, which was all that I wanted to use.

I figure as part of my "due diligence" before making a new  
purchase, I probably should ask you guys for leads/ideas.

Since it is for me, I'll probably stick to consumer grade  
stuff, but would strongly consider flashing third party  
firmware. I'm also likely to shop the brick&morter crowd  
here in Charlotte, so clues as to how to ensure I get the  
"right" or planned hardware are appreciated also.

Thanks in advance
