I agree they have taken far too long to confirm a standard and consumers pay the price. I will say that I've been using the D-Link Xtreme N Gigabit Router for at least the last year without much issue. I've used it with (No Lie) Acer, Dell, Sony, Fujitsu, OQO and Gateway Laptops and at least 10 different handhelds, including WM, Palm and the Nokia N810 and only had an issue with the Intel card in one of the Acer's running Vista. It would connect, and I could surf the net fine, but it would tend to disconnect when trying to transfer files of any size. However, a subsequent driver upgrade from Intel seemed to resolve that issue. It's been rock solid stable. I can't remember the last time I reset it for any reason. Wireless Range is fantastic - the Router is in my basement and I get a great signal in the upstairs bedrooms -- two floors and oposite end of the house. I can stream HD content wirlessly to the PS3 one floor up without issue. It's really been one of the best tech experiences I've had.
Sorry about your bad experience, but maybe next time give one of these D-Links a try and see if that better meets your needs.
