Notice the "suck less than any alternative" statement.  I didn't say
every router for under $100 bucks is a quality piece of hardware,
because NONE of them are, according to my standards.  But they do what
they are designed to do...last about 3 years and give you lockdown
capability.

Why do they suck?  I think linksys rocks.  Just lock it down.

support by replacing my Linksys router.  Anybody have any info whether
one brand/model is better/worse than others?  I've tried searching for
reviews and comparisons online, but it's hard to find ones that look at
all the current models since it changes so fast.  If they're all about
the same, that makes it easier - I'll just look for one with the best
price after rebate.
