Looking for a new router since my Linksys seems to finally be dying. I have a few requirements;
Must be at least 4 LAN ports
Must be 10/100/1000 on the LAN
10/100 on the WAN side
Serve DHCP
Port Forwarding
Support UPnP
Does not need to be wireless


This D-Link http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6833127060 is what I’m looking at, but wanted to hear what others are using to make sure I’m not overlooking something better/cheaper.

For about the same money you could pick up a Linksys WRT54XX router capable of running dd-wrt software and a D-Link DGS-2208, 8 port 10\100\1000 switch.

I mention the WRT mainly as the dd-wrt software has some really nice features you won't see on any of the sub-$200 home gateway type routers. Only word of caution is to make sure get the right hardware version of WRT, or look at the list and find one from another vendor you like and is priced well.
