Not that Linksys modems are THAT much better, but I have a need for gigabit LAN and Wireless N. Neither of which comes on any residential 2Wire unit. After ATT convinced my Dad he needed a 2Wire for his DSL, it took 6 units over 45 days to get it up and running. He finally went and bought a speedstream modem and linksys router and he is much happier. While I realized his situation is not the norm, it really turned me off! Also, (again in my opinion) Linksys routers are MUCH more customizable, i.e. dd-wdt and tomato. However, the average user should probably not have to worry about that!

kudos:70 | I haven't graduated to wireless N yet. Most new laptops you buy still come with b/g/a in them. I am debating if I just want to leave the wireless out of the card and use it that way. |
