I suppose anyone can have a bad experience. For the longest time, I
only used LinkSys equipment, and had no problems. My first wireless
router was a Netgear - it wouldn't stay up for more than 5 minutes at a
time, and turned pistol hot. I took it back and got a LinkSys, which
still works perfectly. At the same time that I bought that router, I
bought 2 netgear wireless PCMCIA cards. One of them bit the dust within
2 months. A couple of months ago, I wanted to upgrade to G, and the
Microsoft branded hardware was on-sale, so I said "what the heck - it's
M$, so it should work well with my XP notebooks..." I've never been so
wrong. What a piece of garbage... Embedded IIS as the web interface,
which now responds with an error screen...
