I'll admint to being a little prejudiced against NetGear as 
I've encountered quite a few problems where their stuff has 
been installed.  Perhaps this is just a statistical anomaly, 
or maybe it isn't.

I have, of course, had failures in LinkSys equipment as 
well, because I install a lot of it, but usually it fails clean 
instead of creating mysterious problems.

For clients willing to pay a bit more in hopes of higher 
reliability I use 3Com.
