Title: get the linksys router
Product review: I was very disappointed with this router. I had just installed an old Linksys wireless router for a friend, but decided to get a Netgear router since it was on sale. The old Linksys router had a lot more configuration options than this router. Out of the box, it doesn't offer the ability to switch off broadcasting the SSID. You have to upgrade the firmware to be able to do that. Even then, you can't turn the wireless radio off, like you can with the Linksys. For security-conscious folks, turning off wireless when you're not using it is like locking your door when you leave home.So, compared to the Linksys router, the Netgear is definitely lacking. The range on this router also does not seem as good as I what I had with the older Linksys router.
