I just decommissioned another Netgear (VPN model - VPN part not enabled) which wasted more than an hour of my time while moving a new client's office. Turns out it's just not compatible with AT&T's Westel router. DSL worked for about 5 seconds, then stopped. Only a ping direct from a computer would restart the service and the NetGear would instantly stop it again. A Linksys router worked slicker'n snail snot. I don't use Netgear because every time I see it I have to pull it out. Of course that's not quite fair because I'm generally not called in unless something's not working.

Linksys seems to be pretty good on all models I have seen. The better things about both the newer Linksys and the D-Link is that they have been doing SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) on models for a while. Leading to actually mostly understanding SPI. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* `PGP key: 1024D/B524687C 2003-08-05 Fingerprint: E1D3 E3D7 5850 957E FED0 2B3A ED66 6971 B524 687C Alternate Fingerprint: 09F9 1102 9D74 E35B D841 56C5 6356 88C0 Alternate Fingerprint: 455F E104 22CA 29C4 933F 9505 2B79 2AB2`

You see, radiation, chemical contamination and all. This time it must be the evil wiring in your house now. Or maybe someone sabotaged your network with his EVIL Netgear Wireless NIC. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* `PGP key: 1024D/B524687C 2003-08-05 Fingerprint: E1D3 E3D7 5850 957E FED0 2B3A ED66 6971 B524 687C Alternate Fingerprint: 09F9 1102 9D74 E35B D841 56C5 6356 88C0 Alternate Fingerprint: 455F E104 22CA 29C4 933F 9505 2B79 2AB2`
