Gen-I touted it to my old work as "An enterprise grade router". I nearly died from laughter. Work wouldn't believe me, but after 3 days of trying to get VoIP to work, a quick router change to a $80 Draytek, INSTANTLY it worked. That's just one of a significant number of examples. No they're most definitely piss-poor routers, but hey, if it's working for you because you barely touch the internet, then good for you, you've saved yourself having to buy yourself a decent router. |

How many home-users out there really push the router to it's limit (or beyond}? How many routers in the market at present passed your tests? If you were to do a quick search, you'll find that almost every brand and model of routers or any other devices has got flaws of some kind. Personally, I have a few mates using the above router and none of them have any issues. Anyway, I have to admit that the UI configuration is not that great and it takes a long time to complete the initialisation for Internet connection. otherwise, it just works, works, and works. :) I used one myself for about month but changed to another brand simply because it takes too long to initialise - I switch it OFF two to three times a day when no one is using it. |

I switch the modem off when not using it and switch off wireless if other users are not connected, it always reconnects back to Internet flawlessly and seems a good router to me for admittedly 25Gig/mnth light usage over the Internet by 4 users. |
