Linksys has a tradition of being touted as one of the best home grade router and wireless networking devices (as well as wired, of course). Anybody can do wired. But it seems when it comes to wireless, they're reluctant to maintain a driver set that supports the latest upgrades (Vista is not supported by my wireless B card, for example), and the router it authenticates with has not seen a firmware update from Linksys for quite some time. A firmware update would be great for that router if they would finally address an issue it has with high amounts of UDP traffic causing it to freeze, requiring a reset. Some people think these things should just be regarded as water under the bridge, and that I should just toss the equipment in the trash with a smile and spend more money on new equipment. But others, like me, know that this hardware is still capable of performing well if only it were supported with an occasional driver update or firmware release.
So...enough about my gripe with Linksys. If you guys think it's still "the @#$#", then I'll buy it again. But if anyone out there thinks there's a competing manufacturer who's customer service, support, and functionality/reliability of their hardware rivals or beats Linksys, I'm all ears.
