Wow. Sounds like someone hit a nerve.
Where's your usual "No personal attacks" disclaimer?
I've never had a problem with any Netgear product. In fact it's running most of my home network.
The article contained an attack upon Steve Jobs, and the author of the article attacked the CEO of Netgear for so doing in return. The “no personal attacks” caveat applies to FReepers responding to the article and to one another. It doesn’t apply to the article. Neither Jobs nor the CEO of Netgear are FReepers or present on this thread to my knowledge. If either of them were, you’d have a point.
Neither have I... and we have three of them here at my office which replaced three crappy Linksys routers that kept bombing out on us. Occasionally, we have to restart the Netgear stuff... they just suddenly decide to lose all connections. That happens about once per quarter. We can live with that. That was much less than the once per week loss of connection we were getting with the Linksys stuff.
I don't know how well the Linksys stuff is since Cisco bought them.
