Hmmm, nice un-wrapped paragraph. Stupid mail client of mine. Anyway, I have had two Netgears and both are still operational after many years. Note that all my computer equipment stays in an air conditioned room that gets no warmer than ~75F (with the exception of my laptop and my wife's desktop, which still are not allowed to operate in a hot environment). My two Netgear switches have lasted several years as well, as has my Linksys. My Linksys on the other hand, has never been more than a PITA because of the way it mail bombs me the log files. I used it for about two days before I went back to the Netgear (after deleting more than 10,000 e-mails from the Linksys router). PGA -- Paul G.
