Topic: Wireless Router w/ QOS?

Can anyone recommend a wireless router with QOS either 100 or 1000mbit

My current one keeps dying and needing rebooting like every night.

I'm looking at the $60-120 range.

Ive had a look around but any input would be appreciated.

Are you looking to replace your current QoS-ing router with another due to a hardware fault, or are you attempting to find a non-crashing router by looking into QoS features?

current router does not have QoS but is like 10 years old.

Im also running VoIP now in a shared house of 3 net users, so QoS would be handy.

you can get routers these days without QoS?

a lot of people seem to like the billion 7404VGP - QoS, Wireless, Two FXS ports etc.

I got a 54GL a couple of months ago and it constantly reboots, I think its over heating or something because it does it with stock firmware, tomato and ddwrt so beware and if you're getting a wrt54GL make sure the store has a good return policy.

The 740x series is very highly rated. Definitely one of the top budget options available IMO. I think that there were some early problems with the 7404 which were resolved with firmware updates quite quickly.

I like how the Billion guys interact with the community as well. They're quite active on the Whirlpool forums listening to issues and releasing fixes for them.

I've got two WRT54GLs and no problems.

Who cares about store warranty after that long. Just send it back to Linksys.
