I'm now happy to pay the extra - and - have avoided my wife telling me "I TOLD YOU SO" based on my continued striving to be FRUGILE BUT NOT CHEAP."

I tried my own router - twice. Reviewed in Consumer Reports - purchased at Best Buy once and Amazon another time. The first time I felt "smart" for about a year and a half. The second time I felt smart for about 6 months. BUT - when you have a problem - you are on your own. I did - and you likely will. Technology - and whether true or not - provider will say it is your ROUTERS FAULT when there is a problem.

Now - I pay the little extra - have had one issue - they replaced the unit within 24 hours - re-checked everything - and was back up to optimal performance.
