I'd like to see SMC's products included in your reviews. CNET back in March gave the SMC SMCWGBR14-N Barricade N router an "editors choice" recommendation. Althought I think it is nice they believe it is a good product, I value the opinion of SmallNetBuilder more than that of your competitor. It would be helpful to see your opinion on SMC products.

Thanks for the suggestion. We stopped reviewing SMC products a few years back after one too many disappointing experiences. The company also has been working more on developing its SMB and service provider businesses than consumer.
Why would you consider SMC vs. D-Link, Netgear or Linksys?
Why would you consider SMC vs. D-Link, Netgear or Linksys?
The only reason I was considering SMC was the recommendation by that other site. Thanks for your comments regarding disappointing experiences. In regards to the 3 brands you highlighted, I have been disappointed with Linksys products for some time now, but very happy with D-Link and Netgear. I currently have a DLINK DIR-655 and Netgear WPN824 covering my house/yard. I'm looking to replace/upgrade my WPN824. Right now I'm leaning towards another DIR-655 and setting it up as a WAP. Appreciate any further comments or recommendations?
Anything in particular that has been disappointing?
Unless you need 5GHz, and if the DIR-655 is working for you, I'd stick with it. Just curious, why are you replacing the WPN824?
