The NetGear


-- Posted by RubberTrees at 6:45 pm on Aug. 28, 2008

I tried installing Netgear and it was screwed up.  I did it twice.  Turns out it was messed up, I forgot how or why.  
I voted for the first one.

Netgear is the one that I have. It was easy to set up, and I haven't had any problems with it.

The Netgear.

For $40 I recently purchased a 802.11n-draft router from Best Buy and it is working very nice here.  Had more of a pain in the ass with ATT customer support (on hold for over an hour) and their modem set-up software not working than the router.

I bought a D-Link DIR-615 (802.11n) for $40 if you wanted to know what kind.

I would vote for the Netgear any day. Ive used a fairly big array of their products and i love the interface of these things. Hardware support, software features and firmware upgrades are all pretty impressive.

The only other brands i trust in this regard are Cisco and Link-sys and even link-sys it depends on the kit a bit more.

Netgear! It's a reliable brand and you will everything you need with that box. The other one looks really fishy. It's used and it doesn't get ANY specifications of how fast it goes or even if it works!
