    The reason why people have trouble with their Netgear models is because of the built-in connection limit... It's set to 15. You need to get yourself beta firmware which you can search for and download. Apparently they fixed the problem after almost 2 years of people complaining. This is the reason I sold mine on eBay.

    Formula1 - Linksys are one of the best brands money can buy. As part of Cisco they're releasing excellent products and are VERY quick to release new firmware.

    As for the 1 year warrenty, I haven't really checked this but generally a 1 year warrant is pretty standard on most hardware these days and have yet to see a modem with a 3 year warranty... As I stated above, I'm staying away from Netgear for their disgusting customer support and bad programming.

    Sure can

    Unfortunately they took forever to release it when I had my DG632, and I ended up selling it for far less than I had paid for it. The beta firmware was "released" 2 days after I sold it

    I'll look for their link but I believe it's now hosted on Netgear's site, so check it out. What model are you using?

    OK, Its the "RP614 v2" (Corded)

    EDIT: I got the beta firemware and i can send songs and whatnot over msn but its a little slow. I think its because I gotta port forward but ill take care of that, Back to the topic, sorry for the hijack.

    Belkin gives a lifetime warranty on their routers
    using one atm, was easy to setup, pretty reliable
    and was only 40 bucks compared to 80 or 90 for a Linksys

    has DHCP, NAT, etc etc blah blah blah
    have to reset every once in a while, but that could be my ISP f00kin about with the lines
