I've had issues with Netgear, D-Link, and Linksys/Cisco consumer routers. It seems most are only good for about 18-24 months and then need to be replaced. I do like the Linksys GUI best but that's probably just because I'm more familiar with it.
But for $50, it's not worth the time to mess with them if a simple reset doesn't allow you to connect. Die dulci fruere!
