Likewise, but with very low end gear so perhaps it shouldn't be surprising.

I find D-Link's user interfaces consistently horrible and cryptic.

The big advanatage I hear touted about Linksys is that you can get open
source firmware replacements.  Linksys is the consumer (read "cheap")
brand for Cisco, though.  I keep hearing good things about Billion.  I
don't yet have their gear myself, but have had a vague plan for a long
time to get a Billion modem/router (but a Linksys gigabit switch).

As for ISPs, count me in as another vote for Internode.  Not the cheapest,
but at least they price for their own long-term viability, and they have
the nous to maintain their own infrastructure so you should get less
buck-passing than with resellers.

Cheers,
