A coworker has an 8? 10? month-old 15" powerbook, he said he had to buy a g router for home use as the g card in the PB did not perform well with his old b router. Much slower than b should be.

He said his g router worked fine with b cards, but not the reverse.

He's running some model Linksys G router now, I'm not sure what he was using as the b router for the g powerbook.

Broken router issues aside, Linksys sux. Time and again, I've seen their older routers (built before the Cisco buyout) provide poor performance. The problem is either they use really slow processors (< 66-MHz mostly) or their wireless implementation sux. Newer Linksys products are better. I've never seen the problem with Netgear etc.

FWIW,
