I'm convinced that with routers you get what you pay for. So this last time I said the heck with skimping and went all out for a Netgear MIMO router. I am very, very pleased. The first one developed a hardware malfunction, and Netgear was very courteous in replacing it. The sucker is FAST. I don't just mean transmission-speed wise-- it processes data very fast. Using it, websites load in a fraction of the time on all my devices that they did using other routers (including a Linksys and ActionTEC).
