I bought a new router yesterday, after the old one started getting flaky. I got a Netgear WNR3500 - it's a gigabit (wired) N (wireless) model. I ran into configuration issues immediately :) I wanted to set it up with the same configuration (SSID and security) as the old G router, but I couldn't get it to use the same WEP key (my daughter's DS can't talk anything past 11b). I fought with that for awhile, but it just didn't seem to want to go. So, I finally just set it up for WPA.

We also have a wireless printer that it would be a bit of a pain to reconfigure, so I took the old router - since it still works for wireless - and reconfigured it as an access point. With that, things are mostly back to normal around here.
