Auld Lang Syne for Linksys
It's not often that two products from the same company fail so definitively. I was using a Linksys 54G router at home and also the Linksys NSLU2 Network Attached Storage.
Within a few days of each other they failed. The router power just went off - dead. Not sure if it was the power supply or what. The NSLU2 simply cannot be recognized on the network.
I had already replaced the Linksys 802.11g PCI card in my downstairs PC with a Buffalo card, so I stopped by my local Fry's and picked up a Buffalo AirStation. It cost me about $80.
After some quick connections I powered it up and it has worked like a charm ever since.
Linksys just makes low quality gear and I'm tired of it.
New Year's resolution - no more Linksys!

I have being using Linksys for years and have had none of the problems you described in your article. I guess there are good and bad with every manufacturer.
