Hi,
The term, rate implies it has to be based on simple math.
If 100 is sold and 20 complains the rate is 20%. If 10,000 is sold and
200 complains it is 2%. You do the rest. You can just directly compare
two numbers. So far I never had trouble with Linksys anything.
(Oh! I had one bad power adapter which was easy to figure out)
Only bad experience I had was with a D-link card bus WiFi card. It
ruined Windows registry but I had a back up. No more D-link since.
