You don't have to hack about with Linksys, its just that if you need a high specification router you can do... the standard product is pretty good.

Belikin is a pretty good home router as well for the price it just feels cheep and looks nasty. It performs well though

The biggest issues I have with netgear even though im currently running one is that they are aware of a number of security holes which are still waiting to be fixed, these issues were reported three years ago.
Netgear perform well enough... its just that if I paid for routers I would not choose one

The router you mention is reasonable however its worth noting that its performance is dependant upon the user of XR-enabled client adapter such as the WG111T, WG311T, or WG511T. What this means in effect is your internal laptop wifi will not make use of the routers ablity as these are only 54g and as such unless you are buying the appropiate card for your PC or laptop your paying for performance you can not use !
