Good point. Perhaps the charts are mis-named. They really show routing and wireless speed vs. range, which do require separate charts.I personally think it's funny that you broke apart wired and wireless routers into their own charts. A router is a router, and wireless is simply a feature or an option, much like you have checkboxes for VPN and QoS. Wireless should just be a checkbox.
You are correct. I only live with these products for a short time, so can't provide reliability testing.I consider stability one of the most important aspects of a router. I'm sure we have all experienced the router that requires a daily or weekly power cycle in order to function correctly.
This may be a hard thing to find in a review unless the stability is so bad that it locks up during a test more than once, since I don't imagine reviewers take each router home and run them for a month or so. Maybe having a way for users to rate their experience, and rank them by average user perceived stability. Not sure if you already have some sort of user rating system in place, as I usually just come here for benchmarks; get what I came for and move on.
