Re: Looking for a quality wireless router other than Linksys

This depends on the specific model of LinkSys (or Netgear, D-Link, etc.) which you have. None of the consumer grade router vendors design the HW nor write the SW. They simply create a box, package the HW and SW inside, put their logo on it and sell it. Also two different model routers (or different versions of the same model) will usually have a HW design and SW from completely different sources. That is also why you will often see one vendor's firmware looking a like like another vendor's firmware - both vendors bought it from the same supplier. Same firmware - just slight changes to the configuration web pages and maybe a bug fix or two produced in house. |
