Wireless Routers?

Have been thinking about upgrading to the newer MIMO technology and have considered between 3 different MIMO routers:

    I can't seem to locate any reasonable reviews on all these products and was wondering if anyone knew of any good links for reviews on these products? or if anyone here has used these and what they think of them?

Thanks... :-)

I would incline against Belkin, though little experience with their APs, my issue is drivers for NICs, they are not good at updating drivers etc. I would therefore suspect if an issue came up with an AP from them the lack of software support could bite me. But that is me.

fundamentalism, fundamentally wrong.

Hi, How about Linksys SRX router? I replaced WRT54G with it and signal strength throughout the house improved(no dead spot) and it seems faster. But I miss 3rd party f/w. D-link has lot of reliability problems, Belkin has weak fire wall. What I remember from reading some reviews before getting Linksys. Play guitar? I work on electric guitars and amps(particularly tube ones) as a hobby. Guitar playing nut in the house(my son), LOL. IMO, Linksys is a good choice.

I would stick with Linksys, D-link is funky sometimes, and belkin in dodgy at best.

I've had nothing but problems with nearly every D-Link product I've bought, and will never again buy another one. I pretty much stick with Linksys for new installs, FWIW.

I have a Linksys WAP54G and it has never caused the first problem. I have a three-story home and the signal covers the home very nicely. I can connect on the back deck, the front porch and even as far away as the road in front of the house which is almost 160' away from the WAP. It configures quickly and Linksys has kept it up to date with firmware upgrades.
