The "nothing" must be an overstatement (or perhaps you overlooked the
good stuff said) because I'm sure I've said good stuff about my
DLINK-655... which I'm quite pleased with, and which I'm connected
through right now. That and I'm also happy with an older D-link router
that I moved to the office.
I've never once had a problem with either of my DLINK routers. My
Netgear and Linksys ones, on the other hand...
Actually, I'm still using my old Netgear as a wireless access point at
work. That part of it still seems to work, but it can't reliably
maintain a conection on its WAN port. I just completely gave up on their
customer support; it was less hassle to just buy a different router, in
spite of the fact that the Netgear was under warrantee.
The Linksys I just threw out....along with an AirLink that I inherited
from the former business owners. I wasted far too much of my time trying
to debug the problems cause by that cheap piece of junk AirLink.
Unfortunately, the symptoms were not leading me to suspect the router
because lots of things worked through it just fine. FileMaker just
wouldn't maintain a connection to the remote server site that I needed.
It was an act of desparation to swap out the router. I didn't really
think that would fix things... but I had changed darn near everything
else except for my business ISP, which would have been a bother. Nary a
problem since I put in the DLINK.
Admitedly, I'm not sure that I've used the Bonjour stuff on the wireless
side of my DLINK-655 (though it seems fine on the wired side), and I
hadn't heard of the ntpd issue.
