Question about
DodgerWA

Looking for a good home router recommendation - primarily, right now, ability to manually define more than 2 DNS servers.

I'm using a Netgear router that I'm growing increasingly unhappy with. In general it works fine, but I'm a power user with several devices (incl. multiple full computers) on our network and self-installed CAT6A cabling through the house. The most recent frustration is its limited configuration ability - specifically, I want to define more than two DNS servers. (Yes, I know I can bypass the router and do this at each machine, but I'd rather avoid that management overhead if I can.)

Anything that runs DD-WRT will probably be your best bet. I recently bought the Linksys E2000 because it has Gb wired ports and 5 Ghz 802.11n. I have never had the need for more than 2 DNS servers but DD-WRT has the default option for 3 and probably can have more with customer configurations.
If you need more wireless performance the E3000 is probably the way to go.
