New Router Suggestions

[edwardp-jjFNsPSvq+iXDw4h08c5KA at public.gmane.org]

It appears that my Linksys WRT54G router is on its way out.  Wireless 
works perfectly, but Ethernet connections (regardless of port used) get 
flaky after a few minutes of receiving the IP address.

This was my second Linksys over the years, the first one was replaced 
because the signal of the wireless portion of that was too weak for the 
laptop to receive, even when the laptop was sitting right next to it.

I was considering going with another Linksys, as I am already familiar 
with its setup screens.

Are there any better ones out there that are just as easy to setup as 
Linksys?

TIA for any suggestions...
