Hi guys (and gals).
Wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the Hardware forum so I put it in both places.
Saw the Netgear Wireless Access Point/Router on sale this morning for $69. The ad didn't have the model number, but the regular price was $149. The $69 was after rebates of course.
I know Netgear doesn't exactly make the best networking equipment out there, but does anyone know how thier wireless equipment compares to that of the other major brands? I know the others are between $100-119.

I have a MR314 with three computers networked to it [2--98SE & XP laptop). It works great. I have a three story house and the signal stays strong for the most part.
Tech support is outsourced it seems but they usually get you up and running relatively quickly. Hardware is rock solid vs. cheap plastic for other manuf's. Router is solid metal w/ 5 yr warranty vs. Linksys's 1 yr.
