please do NOT point me to the linksys website as it doesn't have what i'm looking for
what I don't want

the wireless route I have (Actiontec MI424-WR) is notorious for going south and that's just what happened
i can't manage to stay connected to the wireless for more than 2 minutes at a time

Is that an older model? I just got FIos 3 weeks ago. Is this something I should be worried about?

i did get it a few months ago, you can tell what model yours is by simply looking at it..
if you don't have it post up what model you DO have, i'd be curious to know if they've replaced it (probably not)
but yes, it's something to keep in mind 
just do a little research on my router model and you'll see lots of complaints... it's ONLY the wireless part though, any wired LAN should be ok

the wireless cuts out, you get a signal for upto 10 mins at a time, that's why i'm looking for the install software off my old wireless router

i looked around for a while last night & it seems like the only solution is a 2nd router, it's not really a problem other than with the router itself.
mine worked fine for months too, then idk what happened

That is just the PW masking, it isn't really adding anything.

That router can be a PITA. I can't seem to connect to my VPN at work with it and I've hacked with just about every setting it's got. Verizon told me jack crap.
Does your wireless crap out with your computer right next to it? Any possible interference in your area?
