Well, as my BEFW11S4 seems to be dying on me (its gone through so many different problems, at the moment its loss/choke in source games, loss is always above 0, spiking to double figures every now and so, choke, the same).
I used to respect Linksys, but all the issues i see with their routers on dslreports has made me think again. So, I'm not sure whether i'd go for a WRT54G, I don't want it dieing on me a year or two down the line.
Seen the D-Link routers, seems pretty good but i've had a wireless nic by them before and the drivers were the ****test thing in existence (random bsods in xp, they claimed 'all manufacturers had this problem', shame they didn't realise that the realtek drivers for the chipset worked fine, before fobbing me off).
So, so far, its between Netgear and Belkin. I haven't heard much about either of these, apart from few people raging about thier netgear router, but a handful out of many isn't representative imo. Their WirelessG router is too overpriced though.
Belkin, well i have one of their wireless nics, seems perfectly fine now it is working properly, but i usually associate their stuff with crud, due to they advertise their stuff in the Argos catalogue.
Help me out? Thanks
