HELP! *My "new" Cisco Linksys quit (one of those that looks more like a

wireless router for _2_ computers (big operation here) and I will need a

I am on my second Zyxel X-550. The first one lasted 5-6 years. I just
bought a D-link DIR-628 to use. I like to have a backup. Will use the
D-Link for a while to compare.

D-Link 628 is just as bad as the Linksys. D-Link has pushed a
security module (SecureSpot) which can black most access eventhough it
is turned off.
