Recent ISP trouble made me shop for a new router. When you depend on one
and it goes bad or otherwise misbehaves, another is indispensible for
troubleshooting. What I found shopping locally distinguished Linksys
from others as follows:

1-1 year warranty
2-sold by everyone who sells them

Those harder to find had longer warranties but not higher prices:
Netgear (3 year), Belkin (5 year). Then there's
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=222814. No Linksys for me,
thank you very much.
