Linksys hardware (except for the 600N) is pretty rock solid. Most people kill the Linksys software and put on DD-WRT (www.dd-wrt.com)<br /><br />I would stay away from Belkin and Dlink. I have seen there manufacturing facilities (they use a CM right next to our CM) and they QA is crap and they use a lot of graymarket items.<br /><br />I dont have much experience with 2wire, but a lot of the WISP operators I talk to stay away from them as they dont play nice with a lot of networks.<br /><br />Anyways on a side note, my company has the longest 802.11a wireless link right now at 314kM. If you guys want some crazy coverage, hit me up. I can take a standard Linksys, turn off the wireless, plug a PicoStation 2 into it and give you coverage literally over 3 blocks away. A lot of high end homes have our stuff in it, because most linksys type devices cannot provide coverage for homes over 2500sq ft. And it costs less then 100<br /><br />Mike <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>92stangLX</b> <br /><small>Member # 3252</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2009,11,8,11,49,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Linksys <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>91GR40LX</b> <br /><small>Member # 1329</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2009,11,8,12,52,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I would have to agree with 90gtvert.
