I never said that Linksys was superior to D-link - they are both indeed "bottom of the barrel" "value priced" etc etc names. Several of my friends, and a lot of people I know at work use the same Linksys router I have and none have had any problems with it... but this does not put it in the same class as Cisco, etc, nor does it mean that all of their other products are good, or superior. I guess it can be real hit-or-miss.

It could be worse. We could all be dialing into the Internet with a 2400 baud Boca modem, and waiting for the discussion list on this site to populate.
