I think I've just made a terrible mistake

I've just ordered a Linksys BEFSR41 router, $60 seemed to be decent price. The order has recently shipped, so I can't cancel it.
Browsing the forum, I saw that Siemens has a similar router, with more features, at half the price!!! The Speedstream 2604 is only $29, it has the same features as the BEFSR41, plus a Print Server and a more detailed firewall.
Siemens is a more recognized high-end electronics company, and I was wondering if I made a mistake in purchasing the Linksys router. The 2604 does not say anything about PPPoE (wich I need), but I guess that feature is covered.

What I would need right now is opinions.

Please tell me that the Linksys is better : )
 
I can't say the Linksys is better, because I've never used a Speedstream router.


But I can tell you that my Linksys is great. Easy setup and I like the interface.


No complaints about Linksys here.
 
linksys will be fine for you. btw do you have a link for the other router? I never knew they made consumer level routers.
 
speedstream, belkin has the same interface as a SMC. So I dont know who the oem of each of those are.

it was funny cuz i bought speedsteam and i was like wtf, this is like the smc.. 🙂
 
linksys is good, but power brick i hear goes out.. but u can call linksys and get that replaced for 12bones..

no biggy, easy to setup and its pretty reliable
 
So... they're equally good? Has anyone ever used the Siemens router? It just seems to cheap, it's the only router that goes for less than $40.
