| 596619 | 2007-10-01 17:26:00 | No. And it doesn't matter that much - contrary to people who blame their issues on them all the time. I've only ever had 1 dead one and that was a Dlink in case you needed to know.True. I personally don't consider D-Link to be too bad. The one I had lasted something like 2-3 years before it died Against my better judgement I purchased a Netgear DG834G from Noel Leemings, and as expected paid $50 above what its retails for elsewhere. Tragic. The issue was that I was in a rushYeah, I got stuck in same boat, D-Link died on a Friday night, and had no net to order online :( Just as an example, You can nominate a PC on the network, and then restrict its network access to specific hours, and block sites for specific PCs. I have no use for these features but I could see them being extremly useful in a house with kids.The Belkin also has this feature :) ... one that may be about to get used often :D |

| 596620 | 2007-10-01 20:24:00 | The issue was that I was in a rush (adsl had been enabled and I discovered I had given away my entire stash of routers) I had walked out of DSE when the sales-child took more then 6.3 minutes to emerge from the backroom with the requested goods, and I refuse to shop in Harvey Normans. Yes I went into DSE the other week to buy a phone cable, the one that connects your router to the phone lines as the plastic clip had broken, and I walked around DSE for about 10 mins with sales children watching me from the counter, so I went up to the counter and asked if they are here to stare at customers, oh sorry didn't see you. :) |

| 596621 | 2007-10-01 20:30:00 | I went with a Linksys WAG325N and it was real easy to setup and has heaps of options similar to what Metla mentioned. Wouldn't touch D-Link. | Cartman (12602) | ||
| 596622 | 2007-10-01 20:47:00 | I tend to go for a special tool for a special use...therefor I have a DSL modem (Westell Wirespeed) and a Linksys/Cysco Etherfast Cable/DSL Router (BEFSR41). Stacked, I have used them fearlessly for over 4 years now and except for a PS getting hit by lightning spike, I haven't had a whit of trouble. I prefer to use just one thing to do it's own thing well and not be saddled with multiple purposes and abilities. Modular, I think it's called. |

| 596623 | 2007-10-02 10:34:00 | Site I look after has had a bad run on ADSL wireless routers. In 18 mths they have had to return a US Robotics and two Linksys WAG54GP2's. They now have a WAG200G so hope it lasts a bit longer! | linw (53) | ||
