I have a Netgear, we had problems initially with dropped connections, then bizarrely, it cleared up and out of the four users in my household only my wife still had problems....
After a couple of months of repeated dropped connections for her (while the rest of us logged in on our own accounts with no problems), she created a new account and hasn't had any trouble since.
The Netgear was absolute simplicity itself to configure, took me abut 5 to 10 minutes.
