Sorry to hear your other 2 D-Link routers malfunctioned...personally I prefer D-Link over other brands, and their drivers work well with Windows 7. :)
I had good luck with Netgear. It is very easy to set up which is also important. With Linksys I had more trouble, but the router worked ok.
Also it may depend on your ISP, some provide a router to work with their service.
It's like all things you can't really say what's best everyone has their favourite and some work better with some connections than others. I'd find out what others are using with your ISP's service and see which are more reliable.:)
man choosing a router is harder than choosing clothing and deodorant (lol). I have to buy one tomorrow, going to ask the people at best buy for advice/suggestions.
Thats ridiculous. Many ISPs let you get a router for free, as long as you return it when you end service with them.
I use a Linksys router. Once we got it working right, we haven't had any issues with it since. What gave use problems was Linksys wireless cards. My friend has a D-Link and has had no problems with it. He just plugged it in and was ready to go.
