| Cisco.... ...is the worst thing to ever happen to Linksys.
Back nefore they acquired them I swore by Linksys. Then after acquisition their firmware began to turn to crap, and nowadays I not only don't recommend Linksys to people, I explicitly tell them to NOT go with Linksys.
Cisco needs to wake up to this. They took a once-respected name and screwed it up big-time by tinkering where no tinkering needed to be done. | |

| Re: Cisco.... said by blueeyesm  :Seriously tho - it's a shame these companies do not open up to allow a user-developed, open firmware area within the product, so that users can customize a product. True...but I think I might get upset if I start seeing "Pimp My Router" on the TV Guide in the near future. | |

They took a once-respected name and screwed it up big-time by tinkering where no tinkering needed to be done. I've experienced problems with Linksys, Belkin, D-Link, Netgear, ZyXELL, and more. Believe me... When it comes to getting updates to firmware out, and responding to user pressure when serious flaws are found, Linksys is far better (and quicker) than most.
