It!
Urk! I have used Linksys stuff since we got DSL years ago. It was the first piece of addon computer equipment I got to work right out of the box. My first wireless router gave up the ghost after a couple of years but the second just keeps on working. The only problem I have is the need to power it down to clear conflicts with the other computers on my home network. At times we have had 4 desk and laptops working simultaneously. I hope the next replacement will be of upgraded quality to go with the Cisco name?
