[Cialug] Wi-fi recommendations

[Matthew Nuzum]

I expect a long thread of replies...

I like my Linksys E2500 a lot. Not only does it work with everything, but
it also has excellent support for IPv6 and built in guest network support.
I hear it can also take DD-WRT which I've used on other routers and is a
good choice in case you can't get a router with all the features you want.
