    I recently bought a IBM T43 with Intel/Pro 2915-ABG Network Adapter.
    What wireless router works best with this combination?
    I currently have a D-Link DI-624 and I'm not satisfied because of the following reasons:
    1. I don't get a stable download speed. Download speed slows down after a few seconds to a few minutes from 54Mbps to 1Mbps, and sometimes stops until the router reboots.
    2. After updating the firmware on the router, DHCP dynamic IP address assignment function does not work anymore. I have to assign static IP address to get connection to the router.
    3. Router reboots several times during the day, for no obvious reason.
    So, I'm considering trying a different router but don't know which one to try.
    Any recommendations ?

    Thanks. I probably try the Linksys router. Linksys and Best Buy offer Mail in rebate for the router during december.
