Anyone on the forum have a Linksys BEFSR41?

I recently had to rush buy a POS D-link and was able to return it after and now I'm looking at this router atm.

This one seems like it can handle my 18mb connection but what I want to know is...you think it can handle 100 or so connections without slowing down my internet or anyone online at the time?

Anyone know of a good review site for routers as well? Can't find much on this router.
 
Personally, I've had Linksys and D-Link routers, D-Links were a little better. But, right now I have a US Robotics that I've been extremely happy with, the User CP is one of the easiest I've ever seen. As for connecting 100 computers, most home routers only take 68 total (64 wireless and 4 wired...). Since that one's wired, you're going to have to have a lot of hubs/switches obviously and that's going to slow down and cause all sorts of issues for your connection. Are you a business/school network administrator or something?

*EDIT: This can handle 112 connections, but $$$$: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps5855/index.html

I've got one of these Linksys models. I use it to share a 768kbps DSL connection with another PC. After a bit of guidance from others here at CF, it's now rock-solid stable. I haven't had to reboot it for two weeks.

The only problem I have with it is that no matter what I do, I cannot get it to work with Shareaza P2P. Every other app works flawlessly, and transferring files to the other PC it shares is fast,, error-free and effortless.

well what I mean was 100 connections via p2p or in my case WoW updates...most routers I had after 15-20 connections would crash the connection.
