Fuck you, Linksys :P
Begin nerd rant...
My Linksys WRT600N's 5GHz channel just died on me, so for a replacement router I got an Apple Airport Extreme. Talk about a night-and-day difference... For about two years now I've struggled with the WRT600N's finicky-ness, whether it was the router randomly locking up and needing to be reset, randomly deciding it wouldn't recognize my external drive and thus losing its FTP server capability, randomly dropping clients from its 2.4GHz network and not picking them back up again, or randomly dropping its configuration completely and needing to be rebuilt from the ground-up (lately I've taken to regularly backing up its configuration and restoring it), it's been nothing but a hassle since day one. The Extreme was as simple as could be - it did about 40% of the setup work behind the scenes for me, and most of the other 60% has been getting all of my various wireless devices set up with it (I would guess that I have more than the average person). Even now, it automatically decides which devices need to use the 2.4GHz band and which should use 5GHz without the need for me to set up and maintain two separate networks broadcasting from the same router, and all I had to do to set up a network drive was plug an external disk into its USB port, and both my Mac and my PCs can see it without a problem. I'm doing a Time Machine backup over the 5GHz N-band network right now, and I see absolutely no difference in transfer speed from plugging the external disk directly into my laptop.
Say what you want about Apple, but you have to admit, their equipment works well and is intuitively simple to work with :)
