I tested BEFSR41 for several months, 20 minutes into uploading a large file, it crashed, every single time. I didn't realize it wasn't just my linky, until I read Bill (in Michigan) thorough analysis of what happens to large packets with the linksys. Btw, he doesn't not recommend the linksys at all for ftping....

So far, none of those issues, so far, with the Netgear...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,2413854 Tue, 05 Feb 2002 15:12:07 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,2413709 youngmoore : actully I upload alot, and usually when I do its very large somewhere from 512meg to 1gig. I have only once had an issue with the linksys. Netgear is hole different story. When you have 20 of both you get a better Idea of what makes them tick. I'm not say the netgear is a trash router, however again I'm saying I would never own another one or use there router in the field.

(see some of Bill in Michigan's thorough posts)....]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,2413257 Tue, 05 Feb 2002 13:50:18 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,2410734 youngmoore : I have to wonder what they where really on when these test were done. I would use "and do" a linksys any day before ever buying a netgear. I spent 6 months testing the the netgear and the linksys for a large Telcom for our telecommuters and was very disappointed in its performace. I also wonder why in the world they didn't test a Nexland router which is pretty much the best router out there just alittle pricey. Oh and just so you netgear guys don't get to whinny I highly reccomend netgears switches over the linksys or any other non managed hub/switch. FYI if you guys haven't heard of Nexland »www.nexland.com/products/product.cfm?id=4

Later
