I'm using now Edimax BR-6215Srg and it makes me crazy last time. I will search for other one.
What I need is router with :
1) print server for HP LJ 1010
2) NAS (USB mass storage support as space for FTP). Not necessary download manager and torrent downloader.
3) MAC clone
4) STABLE WORK !
Someone can recommed me router in good price about max 140 USD/ 100 EUR

I would recommend Linksys or Buffalo router with the DD-WRT firmware for features and stability.
Both the Buffalo and Linksys have routers that support the DD-WRT firmware which is not only solid as a rock (most of them) but it adds a ton of features (VPN, FTP, QOS, Bandwidth Monitoring). I personally use a WRT54GL connected to a gigabit switch and it has been rock solid for the last 2 years and I have a fairly complicated network (Heavy use of QOS for security system, port fowarding, 9 x PC's, 3 x servers,3 x laptops and 2 x iphones. I use the following features heavily and havent had to reboot the router except once to apply a specific feature.
This will explain the DD-WRT firmware.

A good Linksys solution for ADSL is ADSL WAG354G. Or you could use a ADSL modem and then plug that into a Linksys WRT54GL router. |

ok I know Linksys from best quality but it fulfil 1) and 2) point ? I must do research for offer from Linksys
PS. From standard routers I really like TP-Link. Very good quality for almost lowest price.
EDITED : Sorry I mean standard broadband router with WAN port not ADSL.

I use a Linksys WRT54G2. Although it only has MAC cloning, WAN access and high stability, it might serve as a starting point for a search, as well as confirming that Linksys are a quality and nicely priced option (mine cost £36.99).

Then most of the WRT54Gxx series would work. They do everything you need except printing server unless your printer is network capable (ethernet). If your printer has an ethernet port then the WRT54G will act as a print server. If you want stability you might consider getting a WRT54Gxx and then adding a cheap print server device to it. Also before buying make sure the model you want to use supports the DD-WRT firmware. Here is a list.

Thanks Windmiller but HP LJ 1010 haven't ethernet port - only USB. Print server option is very important simply ... must be in router. Second is NAS - I plug pen drive or HDD by USB and have ftp on same router. Both options must be and must work STABLE in same time.
Please look at ASUS WL500W. That is what I need but I don't know how that model works in practice.
And I don't want to have two or three devices connected together

So I guess your choice is very limited here. Other I know is ViewSonic Media Gateway that I failed to see sold anywhere, and also a Cisco monster, costing a few grand.
PS.: What the heck? Couldn't actually post that |

Yes my choice is very limited. I found other brands but I know nothing about them. Maybe I will risk and buy this ASUS or will stay with TP-Link on atheros + HP JetDirect 175X and that will makes me give up for ftp.
