Several months back I went down to my local Circuit City and picked up a NetGear RangeMax Wireless Router WPN824. It wasn't, however, until December 24th that I actually had a chance to do something about it. Over the years I've been impressed with NetGear's routers, having long employed a NetGear RO318.
In setting it up, I was able to effectively eliminate the RO318 (which is a wired router) and my other wireless router and consolidate them to a single unit with many more capabilities. I am very excited and impressed with the new RangeMax as it offers many things that my other routers could not do, or at least didn't do well.
DHCP Reservations - One reason that I so thoroughly enjoyed Windows-based DHCP is that of reservations. The effectively allow you to assign a hard IP address to a particular MAC address on the LAN. My other routers did not offer such a capability, but this one does. It both acts as my DHCP server as well as assigns hard IP addresses to devices (such as my Brother HL-5170DN printer, servers, etc) so I don't have to go in and configure them manually. 
Firewall - My other routers of course offered firewall protection...which was very welcome and expected. This router, however, has a double firewall for additional security. And while I've seen it in other routers (and yes, my RO318 was rather antiquated), this router provides me to specifically designate the protocol (TCP/UDP) to accept over a given (set of) port(s), it also allows for an arbitrary list of ports. My RO318 would only provide a set of about 10 ranges of ports for incoming traffic. For the most part this might be sufficient, but I was constantly banging my head against a wall when needing to open other ports because my list was constantly full. This RangeMax, on the other hand, doesn't yet seem to have an upper limit on the number of ports and ranges of ports that I can open. Additionally, it allows me to 'name' the port range. I fall back to simple protocol names, but it sure makes it easier to remember why I opened port 372 (arbitrary port # of course) and what it was for.
Wireless Security - I have rarely encountered a wireless router that didn't have problems with wireless security. I've had, oh, three or four different wireless routers from different manufacturers and anytime I set up wireless security (be it WEP, WPA-PSK, etc) the router would freeze, I couldn't reconnect, or I could connect for a bit and then it would drop me...basically I had issues. The best I could do on security was simply to disable SSID broadcast and lock it down with MAC filtering. This one, however was a snap! I setup the wireless security, MAC filtering, and disabled the SSID broadcast and it all just worked...and continues to do so.
Even though I don't have the recommended NetGear Wireless PC Card (which I might pick up today just for kicks to get the 108 Mb performance), I have never dropped, consistently had an 'Excellent' 54 Mb connection, and the router is traversing more walls and floors than before. I am impressed.
If you're in the market for a router, want additional security, want awesome performance, and a greater network range, definitely take a look at the RangeMax router...I'm hooked already.
