I have both of these routers here is my 2 pence worth

WNR2000 not a bad router which works great with the wn111v2 usb adapter, i have had a few drop outs now and again but easly fixed, nearly all routers drop out now and again from time to time.

Most effected appliance for my situation is the microwave hates it and get nothing but work when its off but how many times does that happen very miminal, they are new drivers out the dongle which i updated only on sunday, there is a new firmware upgrade as well, i did try it but had issues so went back to 1.2.0.8 from 1.2.3.7

Overall this router is fine and has good range.

The D-LINK one, well its not bad however has bad range, the dongle also had bad issues with as at the moment there isnt a windows 7 driver for it, but i beleive there is now, however i was fed up with messing about with the dlink as it couldnt my dongle couldnt find it and had limited connectivity, so i went back to the netgear wnr2000, i believe there is a newer version like wnr3300 or something so look on ebay for one of those.

I have always had netgear and never had issues, i am on my 3rd netgear router just simply that i have upgraded as none of them became faulty just upgraded the way technology has advanced over the years.

I think within the new year this router i may upgrade to one of the new ones netgear provide.

I think its down to personal preference, some people swear by nergear, others like buffalo or d-link just to name a few.

however the d-link didnt like windows 7 where as netgear worked without any issues at all
