I would have thought Linksys to be the best, and I had one work well for several years until a power failure caused to to stop working. Hence the attempt to find a replacement.
I managed to get the wife's laptop to work by telling IE to work Offline. Exactly the opposite of what it should be. And so far the other computers have all managed to find the network and go online, so maybe my problems are solved. Maybe. Meanwhile the snow thrower has jammed up and will not run with the auger engaged. Is that software?
