I have the 4 port switch Linksys router. What a piece of garbage. Thing need to be unplugged and plugged back in all the time. The DMZ mode works for crap, I get dropped/kicked all the time from online gaming cause of it, even though I have my gaming machine setup as the DMZ. Also tried port forwarding and that doesn't work. It seems the router likes to lockup when ever there alot of 'network traffic', meaning if I am downloading a file at 80k and uploading at 20k simultaneously. The firmware upgrades don't help.
So I am looking for a replacement and it seems most if not all review sites never have anything really bad to say about any router/switch on the market so I am going to count on you guys to point me in the right direction.
I have limited my choices to the SMC Barricade, Netgear, or the D-Link. Any recommendations or horror stories would be greatly appreciated. Also any other brands/models that any would would recommend would be nice. A stable router/switch thats does what advertised is what I am looking for, the Linksys doesn't offer that. Thanks in advance!
