d7lee's Full Review: Linksys EtherFast® BEFSR41 Router
This product is left on 24/7 in a cool area on top of a desk, without anything sitting on top of it. This is important since it needs to dissipate its heat.
However, even with this setup, the router managed to have an irrecoverable failure with its hardware. The unit was reset, and never managed to come out of initialization. The customer service at Linksys was as helpful as they could be.
So, even though it died on its own, I still bought another one just because the features were what I wanted, the price had come down, it looked nice, it matched the Linksys Cable modem, and customer service was good. Perfect except for the hardware failure (most likely the re-programable chip). Plus, I couldn't get the D-Link and a couple other routers to work.
