Netgear used to be considered the junk brand, but I've been buying netgear widgets here and there, and they're been good little performers. And unlike Linksys and D-Link, they don't fall over in shock at the notion of windoze not being the whole world. My Cisco-assimiliated chums smirk at me, but I get a lot more bang for my buck than they do! |

I find Netgear quite reliable. |

Which ones do you have? Which ones work with Linux? |

I have had great luck with D-Link personally, after my last Linksys though not being capable of assigning static IP addresses I wont touch one of those again. |

I have a Netgear WGR614v6 that has not so much has hiccuped in the nine or so months I have had it. I have accessed and configured the interface using Debian, SuSE and PCLinuxOS. At any one time I have a laptop and one or more desktops hooked up and I have never had an issue connecting to it. |

Aye - the small little router and switches thingies (I'm talking about those in a blue metal box) are really cool. Sadly, it's a whole lot of a different story when it comes to wireless gear. I once got one of those "wrong" type of PCMCIA cards made in China - and there was no other option than to run them with ndiswrapper. I was swearing like hell at both Netgear and Broadcom... Those days are over - that old laptop without built-in wireless is gone like the company who owned it... |

Netgear website, nothing about supporting Linux. |
