Your Opnion: Linksys or D-Link for router?? i need one and want to know which would be the better choice. i have dsl using pppoe. prices are same, so i dunno what to get. anybody have any recommendations, or notice anything wrong with either one?? i have heard some data loss with the linksys, but im not sure. thanks people...

 

[office boy]

My opinion would be Netgear, but thats not on your short list. In that case I would have to pick Linksys.

 

[joeryu]

thanks for you input. anybody else??

 

[NaughtyusMaximus]

I have the linksys. I would recommend the D-Link.

 

[jmcoreymv]

I had the linksys, i would recommend the netgear.

Updated with the SMC

I have the Linksys and the Netgear
my choice Netgear

I had the Netgear RT314 and it was great.
Didn't really need it (just wanted to play with a new toy for a while).

Office Boy's links are great stuff.

That site is one of the better ones out there for networking.

 

[office boy]

Oh if for some reason you decide on the linksys, LMK, I got one that I used for like 2 days...
Now I'm using the Netgear...
It's the one port model.

 

[joeryu]

a shot in the dark, but anybody wanna sell me theirs??? =)

 

[NaughtyusMaximus]

depends how much you'll pay.

Also take a look at the SMC router, since it includes a print server port, which is a nice feature. I cannot remember if it supports PPPoE though (think it does).

I went from the Linksys to the SMC. Both work well, but the print server is a great addition since I have two systems.

 

[Antisocial Virge]

I read all the reviews and got the Netgear RT314. Works great.

 

[joeryu]

is that linksys the one with 4 ports or one port??

 

[jmcoreymv]

The linksys has both, as does the netgear.

 

[The Stigenator]

I have heard far too many people (friends) complaining about linksys and data corruption.
Go Netgear.. its a breeze to work with. I just setup my friend with an RT311 last night.

 

[NaughtyusMaximus]

BEFSR4 has four ports, and the BEFSR1 has 1. I have the 4 port.

 

[NaughtyusMaximus]

If you seriously want to buy this off me, send me a private message. I don't need it anymore (no longer have a network in need of it).

UBERGEEK!

Sadly I can't take credit for it though, its from the Simposons.

 

[Tominator]

I've got the D-Link. Works fine!

 

[quadcells]

I have the Linksys and think is works ok. Sometimes it seems to have a problem with my Epson Axis 1440 print server.
Would the Netgear be better? And why? I always liked what Netgear products in the past.

Thnaks in advance.
confused;

I have been using the D-Link DI-701 for a month or so and it seems to do the job quite nicely.

 

[office boy]

Paulson, you don't know what you?re talking about. You have probably never even seen a Linksys product other than a NIC.

Try to make at least an educated opinion, don't just guess and pass it off as knowledge.

 

[ragiepew]

I have a few linksys 10/100 NIC cards and a 10/100 FD switch that seem to work fine... have to wait and see, havent tested it much, but so far so good... dont know how much that helps you though
