I use the ASUS router in Mt Wellington, and I haven't noticed any problems
with the connection at all. I don't use Messenger (*apoplexy*), but my
girlfriend does, and she hasn't had disconnection issues. We just use the
plain filter that DSE sells. I play a few online games (without switching
contexts) and I'm sure I would've noticed a disconnection while playing, if
they were occurring. Unless games these days are more robust than I think
they are ;)

We are only using Jetstart, not Jetstream... don't know why that would
make a difference, but it's worth mentioning.
