We're a Linksys dealer but the new routers suck, in my opinion. Better than the belkin or netgear though so for home use, they are fine. We keep stock firmware on the home users and the new ones don't support DD-WRT for the most part anyhow. And yeah, it's easy to walk them through things over the phone with the Linksys, the netgears are a nightmare with their auto-config crap.

One of the things I tell our customers when we sell them the WRT54GL is: We've been in this business and been through a lot of different routers and these WRT54GL's have the best proven track record in our experience. There may be other products from all kinds of vendors that may work just as well, but we have experience with these and KNOW they work well. These are routers we purchase and keep in stock on all of our trucks and at our office to sell, we don't load any custom firmware on them, and rarely do we have to walk someone through upgrading the firmware. I have had a few problems with customers having FTP issues though, the quick fix is to update the firmware in the router, if that fails we always have DD-WRT or Tomato. -Kevin On Sun, Sep 20, 2009 at 4:11 PM, Mike Hammett <[email protected]>wrote: > Something like 80% of the time I've been to a network had Linksys, it's > been > broken. > > > ----- > Mike Hammett > Intelligent Computing Solutions > http://www.ics-il.com > > > > -------------------------------------------------- > From: "Robert West" <[email protected]> > Sent: Sunday, September 20, 2009 5:08 PM > To: "'WISPA General List'" <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [WISPA] Router suggestions > > > Not with multiple lan and at 50 bucks. > > > > Why not Linksys?
