I host a minecraft server for myself and a few friends. I'm currently using an older Belkin wireless G router, and everything works fine. I have other issues with the router not related to minecraft, and I'd like to replace it.
I recently purchased a Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH with DD-WRT, and port forwarding did not work. Buffalo support was slow and unhelpful, and I have no desire to repeat the experience with another new router.
Can anyone recommend a good router for hosting minecraft?
My budget is roughly $100-$150 USD, but I'm pretty flexible on this. Wireless G is a minimum requirement, although Wireless N is preferred. I'd like something with advanced features but that also performs basic tasks, like port forwarding, with a minimum of hassle.
It appears Jensens routers are not available in the U.S.
I'm looking for specific model recommendations that users have experience with. If you use a specific model and successfully host a minecraft server, please let me know.

I recommend Getting a Linksys WRT-54GL and flashing Tomato firmware on it. I've got 4 of them and it's what I've been using for years. Plus, if you need 802.11n you can just grab an access point or router and set it up as an access point. It adds static IPs based on MAC address, QoS and the only time I can remember having to restart the router is because of power outages.
I have an ASUS RT-N16, which you can flash either Tomato or DD-WRT. So far it's been great with Tomato. I actually replaced my aging WRT54GL with this one since it's b/g/n.

I'll check it out. I only have one wireless-N capable device out of 5, so I'm only considering it for future-proofing. Thanks.
Thanks. I'll add it to my list!
