linksys vs netgear

It's not much difference from one to the other today. I've used both and they all work about the same.

You've picked two top names in routers. Either will suffice, but if you continue to use other options, go with that brand.

Personally I've had great experiences with the Linksys Wireless-G WRT54G Broadband Router.

I have about 15 Lynksys wireless routers and access points. I also have about 6 Power over ethernet adapters. With a very few exceptions, I have had no problems with these. I also have several Netgear switches which I use because of their price-performance value. Again with with little or no problems. The difference between the two companies -- Service. I had a 16 port Netgear Giga switch (~$200) go quirky on me. After 15 minutes on the phone I had a swap RMA -- Done. One of my Linksys Power over Ethernet adapters ($44), that connected two Linksys Wireless Routers, died after about two weeks. After fighting on the phone for about 45 minutes and finally threatening to goto her supervisor's boss, I got a case number that I needed to go through the phone chain all over again to get the RMA which will be mailed to me. They can't transfer a call. They haven't heard about Email. I now will reconsider my future purchases.

I have experience of using both and i think there is not such a great difference between these two, so you can use anyone.
