My 1st router was a D-Link, I think, & I believe I fried that one myself by mistakenly swapping the power cord from the modem 2nd one was Linksys, lasted a little longer than the dlink...I got a Trendnet router now, bought just before CompUSA went down for the count; one thing I kinda like about this is that it came with a free trial for Network Magic - I liked it enough to pay $30 to keep it, keeps all the puters connected better than I've ever able to before.
