That's the biggest load of unsubstantiated anonymous slander I've ready today! And there's plenty of competition out there on teh internets.
My modem/routers have always been ~$20 Craigslist Specials. (I strongly believe in recycling e-trash ... and just how much machismo does one need from a 6kbps-in 802.11-out wee boxlet anyway?)
sonic.net's exemplary — exemplary! — tech support has never once even hinted that this might be a problem, has never suggested I had to buy something different, and has never been unable to figure out what's wrong. Including when it was my craoking $15 Craigslist Special modem that was indeed the problem.
