If you have all your documentation in order and
are ready to undergo an inquisition-type
grilling, you can get some help from LinkSys
Customer Service..From the Philippines, I might
add. 800 numbers and on-line chat are available.
Of course time-zones are different..Luck to you.
Will be long and rigorous..but you have a LinkSys
device and what goes with it!!!

Gross exaggeration won't help you much. Have you tried explaining what
product you have, what you did... and what resulted... exactly?

Could it be your typing that's causing the problem?

Hmmm.
Are you the one who blames everything, everyone but yourself when things
don't go well? What's wrong with Linksys? You did not even mention your
hardware platform, OS, or problem you incurred.

Ok. Let's do just that.
Googling for various manufacturers (with the quote marks):
"Linksys sucks" yields 4070 hits.
"Cisco sucks" yields 2530 hits.
"Netgear sucks" yields 1580 hits.
"Dlink sucks" yields 941 hits.
"Belkin sucks" yields 672 hits.
Belkin is the winner as the wireless manufactory that sucks the lease.
Buy Belkin. It's all very scientific.

Yep. I wrote that.

So, you bought a BEFW11S4 at CompUSA? I can see you did zero research
before buying. Linksys doesn't manufacture anything. They put their
name on products thrown together by various international
manufactories. Some are really good. Some are crap. You apparently
bought crap. However, you don't seem to care about getting help
making your purchase work. You're only interesting in complaining and
attracting comments.

Hmmm.... Methinks I might be posting too much.

[engaging tongue-in-cheek mode]

Perhaps one reason Linksys was listed so often is that its been sold in
Walmart at least two years before Belkin.

Consider the average skill set level of Walmart shoppers.

Hi,

It's likely that the linksys sucks query is so much higher because they sell
so much product.
Skill and general understand have a lot to do with the way someone perceives
a product....
