[OT] home routers



I have had nothing but problems with Linksys products.  Usually I find that
the product works for about a year before requiring a replacement.  I
consider this to be by design.  When Linksys products are working I find
that they need semi-frequent reboots.

I tend to recommend D-link or Netgear products.  I've had excellent results
with Netgear.
