Hi

I have the Linksys WAG54X2 which is set up to use DynDNS and one other I
forget (non-free).

I have been extremely happy with it's functionality, wireless range etc.

One trick - If you use the DynDNS service I don't recommnd using the
'wildcard' setting (so that a www.blah address is valid) as it seems to
conflict with the update client on the router.

Otherwise all is good. I have been using DynDNS on the above router for a
whole 16days (got to start somewhere) and all is fine.
