Re: Looking for a new router
This is based on all the home and office installations I do over a 2 year period.
Linksys WRT54GL = a lot of failures, When it works it is great, power is average
Belkin = OK but not powerful, I really don't like these.
SMC = Powerful, runs hot, had a few burn out. but was replaced by SMC
D-Link = When they work they work. average signal strength. lots of failures.
Hawking = works great until it died a month later.
Netgear = works gut signal is not great.
Westel = worthless, weakest wireless I have ever seen.
SMC is what I use the most. They have warrantied routers that were 2 years old and I recieve them in 2 days. Linksys makes you jump through hoops to get them to warranty a unit. D-Link is takes about a week.
