Wow, three crappy things that taste even crappier together.

It's hard to imagine the circumstances under which I would buy a Netgear router

The WNDR3700 is pretty good... Unfortunately, this is not the WNDR3700...

Netgear = Bad.

Mine works fine. No dd-wrt though

I've never bought refurbished ones, but I have 2 of these bridged working fine in my house and have 3 others working flawlessly in family member's houses for a while now.

Certainly not the steaming pile that every Linksys product seems to be since they slapped the Cisco name on their equipment.

Linksys was always a steaming pile. Cisco even more of the same - having admin'd my fair share of Cisco junk (I still have nightmares of the PIXII), it's always been an amazing thing to me that Cisco has come to equate with "we power the internet".

Netgear *used* to be good, but when they stopped using metal housings and switched to the rounded white apple-ish style, their quality dropped like a rock. Just like Seagate, come to think of it.

Belkin has been surprisingly good of late - they used to be utter crap, but have gotten better.

Bunch of slack-jawed f*ggots around here. This stuff will make you a god damned sexual Tyrannosaurus, just like me.

Switched to this model from Linksys (piece of baconnaise that constantly needed rebooted). I've had no problems with mine. Nothing fancy but works dependably.

I have one of these that does need constant rebooting. PITA.
