Default Your favorite router brand?

Ok, i have a d-link. And honestly, i hate it, lol. I was wondering what brands you guys like. I know linksys is good. Has any one had bad experiences with it?

What else would you guys recommend?

Thanks

I have a Linksys 802.11b in my house. It's allright. i get a decent signal from anywhere in my house but I like orinoco better. Their wireless laptop cards have the ability to connect antennas to them so you can get a signal from like 5 miles away. Great for some occasional wardriving, hehe.

i have US-Robotics 9106 Wireless Router/Modem/Switch, its cool.

also i have Linksys VPN WRV54G (cool looks), but i dont want clutter, as it requires additional modem to be attached with.

i'm very well satisfied with my US-Robotics. as i'm using their products since my first PC. never let me down

i am using prolink now. but this router really bad and it canr work fine.
the wireless connection is very unstable.
in fact, i have to restart the modem after certain period.
i am using broadband connection with 384Kbps, but it is slower than dial-up...
i am too disappointed with that.

now, i am trying to ask my landlord to buy a D-Link router.
but is this works fine?
How about Linksys?is it good?

I used Netgear for years never had any problems. Plus I also like there study metal cases, don't know if they still make them in metal anymore though. But Linksys is also a good brand, thats what im using now.
