Sorry to hear you are having problems. Yes, they are more expensive than the Netgear's & D-link's but mine has been infinitely more stable than any of the above units I have used. FWIW...

Jack, you're forgetting the mentality here on AT.

There is "the best" and there is "the evil"

If you endorce "the best" posters jump on mindlessly. If you endorce "the evil" then you don't know what you are talking about.

Eitherway, buffalo offers great products with good radios (the most important of any wireless device) for a good price.

It would've been helpful if the OP had let us know which piece of equipment was giving him so much trouble. It may not be a $39 router -- it might be a $189 NAS like the LS-250GL.

There are however LOTS of places to look for reviews on products both by professionals and by ordinary consumers. My experience with Buffalo has been mostly good - nothing that couldn't be solved with a firmware update or an email in to tech support.

I've had no problems with my Buffalo wireless ethernet bridge.

I have yet to hear many bad things about Buffalo products compared with the competitors.

I had the pleasure of setting up a cheap-as-sin Buffalo WHR-G54S tonite, the first time I've played with a Buffalo product. Once you get past the annoying auto-config crap and into the advanced settings, you find it has more features than a D-link at a similar price point, with comparable stability.

It's slow as heck starting up/rebooting, but once it's up, it's up. And that's just with the OEM firmware. I'm looking forward to getting DD-WRT on here.

In my experience Buffalo routers are great for people who understand how to set them up manually & nothing but headaches for those who don't ... really the same could be said for any router, but Buffalo's auto-configuration options & beginner documentation are particularly worthless.

I'll suggest them to tech-savvy friends, but I stopped installing for clients a long time ago because it seems that any issue with a Buffalo wireless router beyond a simple power-cycle reset ends up requiring me to make a service call.
