and they have always been very reliable for me. However, wireless signal
strength is not the best occasionally my laptop will report it as 'good'
when the router is only in the next room, whearas when I have tried other
brands like d-link  they seem to have a bit more poke, although I switched
back to netgear after the d-link locked up a couple of times which never
happens on netgear for me
