i dont think anyone has a clear idea of waht im trying to do here so i shall explain.
march
i bought the WRT150n that month in hopes to replace the Belkin router that i destroyed (due to overclocking) by "accident"
i purchased it because i was trying to make a client bridge that i could use to supply internet to two of the computers in my room instead of using Wireless network adapters.

this is where things started to act funky. i was hosting a TF2 server that ran mann vs. machine maps. but after a while, the server would runs weird and lag like crazy sometimes. even doing a direct hookup to the modem didnt help. i ran some speed tests and noticed that i was getting 20mbps down and 1.80mbps up.
i am suppose to be getting 12mbps down and 1.80mbps up.
dad made an assumption and though we just got an upgrade so i went along with it and assumd the p4 server was just throwing a fit about it.

this is where things started going down. not only was the connection acting up, but i was not going up to 30-40mbps down and the upload speed would be 5mbps in teh middle, and then drop back down to 1mbps. sometimes even lower. this was also the month i purchased the WRT300n as the next client bridge for my room.
even after a router modem replacement, issues were still there.
october
we called up mediacom after noticing that the internet connection speeds download was at 0.99mbps down and 4mbps up. operator said that not only was our modem going bad, but the whole neighbor hood was affected. my dad then brings home the 50meg test modem and we use it to test the internet speed. the 50meg shows teh correct speeds its at and so he gives it to me to use to host my server and to do my daily tasks on.
it was performing fine until it randomly crapped itself one night. i tell my dad about it and he brings it back to the head end for testing. i dont know if it still works...
november
dad brings home the SBG5101 and i use my WRT150 for main. unfortunately the wrt150n acted weird and dies so i throw it out and use my precious wrt300n instead. i also purchase thValet M20 and wrt350n. the wrt350n comes Bricked on arrival so i have already made plans to send it back.
at this point, the internet connection has not timed out and has performed just fine. itnernet speeds are a quirky still as i sometimse get 3 down and 3 up. but ill leave that up to mediacom to fix. im sure they will be getting angry calls from others soon at this point
Situation
right now, i am looking for a router that has Wireless N, USB, gigabit ethernet ports, and can run dd-wrt. i need this kind of router because i have a usb hard drive that i would like to use for my media (anime, pictures, videos, etc.) while using the servers 250gb drive for storing programs, tools, game files, and backups.
the WRT350n didnt work out for me so i am sending it back. should i successively get a refund ill have around 70 dollars in my bank account.
i do plan on getting the WRT610n but i also found that teh WRT600n is better....too expensive though. im also beging to think that linksys hates third party firmware so im looking at buffalos routers.....too expensive but i feel i got no choice.
any help? i been looking for two weeks already. i dunno if i should try getting another wrt350n....
