Go Netgear, they're great. This for your Uni Dorm?

no its for my home im using my timecapsule for my uni dorm.
im not to sure about the netgear as i have had problems with it a few times. i currently have a netgear but for some reason even after a reset it wont let msn work in mac and aparently my isp doesnt block any ports so i cant see any other option apart from my router as ive even tried fresh installs of mac and msn. thats why i always use a web messenger

Logitech and Linksys are the two brands I trust when it comes to tech,and currently I'm running a Linksys Wireless-N router on my dorm and charging people to get on (pretty much no one has a wireless router) so for a dollar a month they get keys.  I'll have the router paid off in 3 weeks  :yess:

I thinks that I will give the linksys a try as the last two netgear routers I have had have suffered from oerheating and the odd drop out. Pluss I think the 350n is compatible with de-wrt which is good


Do any of you know of it's possible to revert to the origioal firmware from linksus
