What does everyone think is the best router brand?

Thanks

Those aren't all even in the same class. You can't compare a linksys to a cisco.
But seeing as you are, I'll choose Juniper networks.

 

[flawedecision]

cisco

 

[Tallgeese]

Cisco...for their TAC even more than their hardware.

>>>What does everyone think is the best router brand?<<<

I remeber that few months ago I found a Router for $120,000.00

It must be the best, if you really want it I will find the URL.

really depends on how serious of a router you need. for home use i really like my linksys router

 

[Abzstrak]

Cisco and Juniper both make good ones

What about for home use between say..... Linksys, Netgear, and D-link, for a 4 or 8 port router? I would think Linksys?

 

[BigCheeze]

Yea.. Cisco or Juniper HAHAHA

But, for home use it depends on your budget. Cisco makes a PIX 501 that is a true firewall, with a 4 port switch. If you have $500 to spend, than I'd say use that. If not, check out ZyXel... great customer service (unlike Linksys), and high quality products.

 

[CStroman]

I use a linksys.

 

[Speedy3D!]

my netgear has never given me any problems.

Cisco 0wnz J00


3600 series routers... mmmm

Cost no object, probably a Juniper or Cisco, like other people have mentioned. Or possibly something software-based just for the configurability and features.

Personal router (under $300), I'd DEFINITELY say SMC Barricade. I've configured two home networks with them, and both work flawlessly. Customer support is top notch, as they responded to an e-mail about configuring the built-in print server within 24 hours. If you consider the built-in unidirectional print server, the auto-sensing MDX/MDIO so you can hook it up to a hub with either a regular OR crossover cable on any port, the limited lifetime warranty, features like compatibility with outgoing Netmeeting out of the box and many VPNs, and excellent performance, it's no wonder they're good.
