Help me choose a router

^ Agreed on the Asus router. I bought one for my brother, and it's been rock solid.

I'm now using a Buffalo G125 that's been functioning just fine with DD-WRT...but I don't think they're selling these in the US currently.

I just ordered the ASUS through Newegg - after reading through a ton of reviews on there hard to justify paying $20 extra for the Linksys name. While I probably could just upgrade the ASUS firmware and it would work my need to tinker a bit says that I have to put Tomato or DD-WRT on it. Now to spend the next few days reading on the two - differences, pros/cons of each - and wait for box to get here.

Would you share your QoS settings that you use through tomato? I have it set up to what I think will work(MAC priority for my PAP2T), but curious how others have theirs set.

Thanks
