Re: FiOS GigE Wireless "N" Router $79.99

said by Zero:

You might want to look into one of the new draft 802.11ac wireless routers if you're looking for the latest and greatest combined with feature rich features. That's usually going to come from the main router OEMs like Linksys, Netgear, D-Link, etc. ISP partnered OEMs typically don't have the latest and greatest features to cut down on cost and support for the ISPs.

Yes. I've heard about those. Until the 802.11ac line is finished and made standard, I won't be going for one. Mine will probably be a latest Wireless N to be used sometime later this year or into next. But we'll see. I'm looking for a certain set of features, etc. So, there is is. It's nice to have options and I'm grateful for the info I found out here.

Yeah, I was looking at the E-4200. When I actually go and buy, I bet it'll be like a E-5000 or something

I wouldn't touch a Linksys anything after their debacle with firmware upgrades from a few weeks ago. Sorry, I'm not going to let them have control over my router. Ever.

There is no need to have a router rely on a web service for connection, configuration, or anything else. Their stuff isn't that great anyway.

Definitely. Just pointing out what they tried and I can almost guarantee they will try it again.

Totally agree, that action made it the last time I ever buy a linksys.
