[olug] [ot] Sudden wireless problems with a MacBook Pro

[Sam Tetherow]

In our wireless business we have settled on D-Link for reliability, but 
I really do think this has a lot to do with the power in a particular 
location.  The topic comes up periodically on the lists and there are 
always people that swear by Linksys, D-Link, Netgear (not so much any 
more), Buffalo and Belkin.  They all quote failure rate for their 
preference.

I also put out some Netgear routers and I have 3 that have failed in the last 2 years. Not a large, scientific study BUT...I will stick with the Linksys routers.  :)
