Default Linksys Sucks!

I was tired of dealing with the dropped wireless signal from my linksys router, so I bought a wireless G router from newegg Dlink w/ a usb wireless card for $35 after rebate. 4 days no dropped connections, and my 360 has connected to live everytime.

I don't know why I always had to unplug the linksys router to get it to work...gheyh:

Every linksys router I've used has a dropped signal problem, don't know why. Always had to go in and release and renew the local dhcp, it would pick up bogus mac addy's...bleh

oh yes I was. wep enabled configured but randomly it would drop. Somedays it was once others it was multiple times. I would start my 360 and it wouldn't let me online, I'd unplug the linksys and plug it back in and reset the 360 and all the sudden it works. Maybe the router was bad, but I had the same problem at my Mother in-laws, and parents. Father in-law is a network tech and he still had problems with the router, he deals with it.
