Both product quality and customer service of Linksys are abominable; we
had the WRT54GS quit on us in 45 days, and getting the RMA from Linksys,
who outsources to some place like the Ukraine or Bulgaria where no English
is spoken, was agonizing in the attempt. Unfortunately you can find even
magazine editors giving it too high a rating in their hardware reviews.

If I were you, I would google for many reviews so that you get a good
consensus of those who have owned a piece of equipment for a good long
while.
