Yes, Christopher
We appear to be in the same boat. For me, however, I do not need
wireless/wifi. I run a wired LAN, so
any router I choose must allow me to defeat/disable the internal
'radios.' It is getting tougher now. It seems
like ALL Network has gone 'wireless.' I get it. Just don't care for it.

I just lived thru a loss of internet. Don't know why for sure, but post

I run a wired 10base1000 network in my home. No wireless/WIFI allowed.
I called my local ISP (EPB Electric Svcs) tier 1 service. T1 confirmed
that the internet was alive and
that their fiber network was happy. Fine. T1 walked me back through
everything I had already
done. T1 indicated that they 'saw' my MAC address (confirmed) and, that
they saw no aberrant behavior on
my end (between my ONT and my router). OK.
So I asked T1 for their choice of a router!
T1 asked if I was Linux-capable. Said NO.
T1 suggested I look at a Netgear WNR3500L, and, T1 sent me a link to
newegg.com. Fine. The link is:

Fine. This router (in link) is primarily for wireless. After reading the
UM, I find it has a button to disable wireless/wifi. OK.
Dang! It costs ~half what I paid for my current DLink DGL-4500! No harm,
no foul.
Seeking opinions, suggestions, favs/raves.
Thank you,
Duncan
