best home router for openssh

Subject: best home router for openssh

Hi,

I'm looking for the best home router to use with openssh.

I know, I know - it seems like a silly question.

However I have found that different brands seem to do a better job of
keeping ssh connections open.
I cannot remember the brand but at least one router I bought in the
past would not keep a connection
for more than 5 minutes. It was a known issue acknowleged by the
company who made it. They had
optimized it for connection-less http etc.

Currently I run a linksys and it works ok but drops connections
randomly and never can hold one
for more than 8 hours or so.

I've accepted this as just part of life until this weekend when I used
the wireless at a hotel. It kept my
connection for more than 24 hours no problem.

So I've come to ask - can anyone recommend a particular brand/model of
home router that they have had
good luck with?

I'm running:

windows xp + putty

to

local linux box. from the linux box i use screen to connect to many
different hosts.

I can confirm it is not a windows issue only because the linux box
will drop the connections too (it is not a
host issue either, they are not dropping idle shell sessions - plus it
all worked great over the
weekend on the hotel's wireless).

Thanks for any ideas!
