Here I have just a simple Netgear router. At my parents house I had to put their D-Link wireless router router behind a Linksys router since the DHCP timeout for the D-Link was like 10 seconds -- either not long enough to negotiate the DHCP lease or the D-Link wasn't sending the correct DHCP options. Either way, that is why the Linksys is in between the cablemodem / D-Link (D-Link is wireless, Linksys isn't). I don't think I would buy D-Link, their customer support was far from helpful. Actaully setting up the two routers to get everything to route properly between them was a pain as well.

I would love Bendsley's setup, I could actually set this up properly with professional hardware. Plus it would be a nice learning experiance.
