The number of complaints does not control for the popularity of a
product. A good product with a low RATE of complaints will likely have
a large number of complaints because of high sales. If a product had a
1% percent complaint rate then a 1,000,000 sales would yield 1000
complaints. If a product had a 50% percent complaint rate then a 100
sales would yield 50 complaints. Moreover this idea doesn't address
the rate of complaint per discussion. If most discussions about a
product are positive and another product most discussions are negative
that indicates a difference in the quality of a product. So talking a
random sample based on Google rate of relevance yields this about
BELKIN.

Where are the complaints? People are asking for help rather then
complaining. They aren't complaining because BELKIN is a better
product.

The rate of complaints is not as bad as the nature of complaints.
Linksys causes problems while most complaints are about a product not
working. In this case the product is hurting people's computer
systems. I am not saying that Linksys software contains a virus only
that the software is buggy and creates problems. However if one product
merely didn't work and another contained a virus then the product
with the virus would be far worse then one that merely didn't work to
spite the rate of complaints.

Linksys shouldn't sell a product that hurts its customers. The
responsible thing would be to remove the harmful products from stores
and offer people who brought the product a fix. They don't even offer
fix. All they would have to do is apologize and put a fix on their web
site and I would not have complained at all. I went to the site and
nothing was mentioned. I checked out their forum people are asking to
help and they are being ignored by Linksys and the only help that is
get is from other users.



ALL LINKSYS NEEDS TO DO IS OFFER A FIX ON THEIR WEB SITE
