Somebody said on this forum that Netgear was not good equipment.
I have owned and tried tried Linksys, D-Link, Belkin and SMC. So far netgear is the best, largely because it has a compelte configuration front end, good wireless setup and seems reliable.
Nevertheless, being an impulse buyer, and seeing a US Robotics "g" router on sale this a.m., I bought one. I dont' think much of the front end (configuation features). I'll give it a few days, but think I'll take it back for a refund. I did get a USB unit for my laptop and hope that works good with my netgear. I have at least 5 compteting wireless signals here and my laptop with internal wireless keeps wanting to log onto my neighbor's LInksys signal.
Almost like driving on a crowdeded autobahn in Germany with a speed limit.
So what is the concensus for routers? I vote for NetGear and give a boo and a his for D-Link. I like the Belkin unit, but NetGear has a better setup for wireless. Linksys is good gear, but has less range, at least in my case of passing through a floor full of metal ducting, to the floor below. Front of the building to the back from one floor to the next.
