I voted TP-link because it's a Chinese brand and it's cheap. lol

I went cisco/linksys, I've NEVER seen one fail before, other than being taken out by lightning.

Agreed. One of the many brands by HP that are VERY noisy.

I'd go for D-Link, Cisco, or Linksys. I picked Linksys because there's this one dumb guy who removed his password and everyone can access the internet using his router. :lol2:

I won't buy another Belkin router until I hear a bunch of good reviews on them. The one I have now will overheat and the signal quality will gradually do down until you can't even access the modem. Then you have to unplug the router and wait for it to cool off.

That sucks. But yeah, Belkin products feel so flimsy and cheaply made.
But then again since you have an internet usage limit of 200MB/day, why would you even stress the router :lol: jk

I'm currently on to my 3rd netgear router in the space of about 2 years. First one stopped getting the DSL light, Ethernet ports died on my second one.
