1. updated Linksys WRT54G - August 14, 2009 at 9:40 pm

tapped as "have it"
new pro/con: after 2 years it just stops working. (at least for me, it's either wlan, or lan. both don't work simultaneously)

2. updated Siemens Gigaset SE361 WLAN - August 14, 2009 at 9:37 pm

tapped as "have it"
new pro/con: found the cause to my DNS problem: ipv6. So if you have this router, do not use ipv6, use ipv4. for most people ipv4 is default, so don't worry; ipv6 is only enabled upon specific request.
agreed: "Security advisor that warns for dangerous settings"
agreed: "-It's rather easy to set up."
agreed: "it takes very long time for it (a minute) to create ssh or ftp connections (even on the internal net)."
agreed: "it slows down considerably the connection when connecting by LAN wire; slow wireless signal as well"
new pro/con: DNS resolving/lookup takes forever when using the router; if i don't use it, i get into sites immediately. if i go through the router, i have to wait 15 seconds before the site starts to load, while i wait for "Looking up example.com"
