I don't feel we are differing greatly in out "philosophies"... I just want to know exactly what is "stripped" about it and the only reason I mentioned it, is Walmart is down the road from most people, and if you have a problem you can run down and exchange or return it...
Of course I would choose the SMC for $12... thats why I linked it... but its through a private seller.. no warranty or real guarantee...
I have used many different routers, and in all honesty when I was getting a good deal on those routers, (less than $30) I bought a few because they worked well...
I don't sell poor products or unreliable parts... If something turns out to eventually be bad, I try to learn from my mistake... I think you might be surprised at how many components you use yourself that are actually "off brand".
I would not like having to constantly deal with support calls due to bad hard ware, but I do try to find the best price performance ratio I can...
I have used lots of things considered "unreliable" by some.
If I have good experiences with them... ECS and PCChips mobos included... I use them.
I still like the K7S5A's for budget builds... and I know of MANY AT style PCChips boards still in use...
unless you can give me clear reason for specifically why they are poor routers, (beyond that they are made by a supposed subsidiary) I cant see a reason for your crapping on my suggestion... Have you ever even used one?
