I'm on the fence simply because I've had more Linksys routers die out on me than Belkin, but then I've almost always had a Linksys router, so I've had more of them TO die out on me... the Belkin worked, not very well, but it always had a connection at about 1/3 its rated speed. The Linksys routers I have always performed better, but tended to die a little quicker on me.

The majority of Linksys router (and general product) failures is actually the power adapter. It's just that nobody tests this and assumes the product died.

Their transformer quality is all over the map. I've seen Linksys use almost a dozen different suppliers in the last decade, and few of them have been Class 4 or 5, until recently. I've seen adapters buzz or have a rattle right out of the box.
