Actually, there do appear to be issues with some routers which affects Windows
Share browsing. I recently tried three different Wireless N Routers and the
first two (Netgear DGN2200 and DrayTek Vigor 2710) did not reliably expose one
of my Linux devices to the network on Windows, Linux or (as I understand it
from web forums, Macs)
I now have a Belkin 600N Play (Model No F7D4402UK) which has worked
faultlessly since I bought it.
