My experience with tp-link is very hit and miss.

Some products work flawlessly, but some have an inherent software or hardware issue that makes it a headache.

Latest experience was with RE200 wireless repeater. Avoid it at all costs it always disconnects for no reason.

Linksys used to be way cheaper. Although US brand but it was stated by two Taiwanese immigrants.

Once Cisco took over the company, the price became Cisco-like already. Later bought over by Belkin, another US company, but them Belkin is now owned by Foxconn. Looks like Linksys is going back to Taiwan laugh.gif

For Netgear as far as I know it was never cheap from the very beginning. The price is always between Cisco and China. Now more well known, the price become closer to the top brand.

I am not updated I didn't even know Belkin bought it. What I know frm US forums last time people were saying Cisco buy it to stop its competition during that period most of their firmware bugs not fix even if router is buggy.
