The other thing I can't stand about LinkSys routers is their firmware
seems to be sub-par. For instance, a friend of mine had to get rid of
his LinkSys a couple years ago because any time he connected via FTP to
outside servers, the router would hang.

Hmmm. Not good. I use FTP from time to time.

there is absolutely no problem with ftp and linksys routers. i've been
using linksys routers for close to a decade and have found them to be
among the most reliable of all of the routers i've tried, including
d-link, netgear, trendnet, zyxel, speedstream, actiontec and apple.

the problem his friend had could have been something other than the
router, especially since he neglects to mention *which* linksys router
(there are hundreds) or what firmware version. it's no different than
someone saying 'my neighbor bought a mac and it keeps crashing' and
avoiding all macs because of it.

plus, some linksys routers can run custom third party firmware which
can go *far* beyond what other brands offer.

there really isn't much difference in low end routers, and most use the
same chipsets anyway. they all have their own quirks and issues.
