    I am using Linksys. There are too many problems and too frequently with it. Alaways something wrong. Esp. wireless part.

    I am thinking of switching, to netgear, or something else.

    My question to you is: What are you using, and ,do you like equipment you are using. How often do you have a problem(s)? Thanks for answers.

    Hi El Camino...

    1) What are you using => Linksys (Wired) BEFSR41 router
    2) do you like equipment you are using => Yes
    3) How often do you have a problem(s)? => once...I updated the firmware and was getting disconnected constantly. I downgraded the firmware back to the version I had before and all was well again.

    I like the Linksys products for simplicity but for performance and features I lean towards D Link.

    In your situation I would recomend the D Link DI-624 seen here.

    It has an advanced firewall and some other nice features.
