Anyone ever use an HP router?

Im in the market for a router so I have been camparing a few prices.This HP router is little less cash than the Linksys,so I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the HP routers,and if the quality is up to par with Linksys and Netgear.
Heres a link to the one in which im referring.

Any info will be greatly appreciated.
Happy New Year

Hi Edave,

I havn't been able to find any specs or reviews on it, but I'm guessing it uses a common a router "base" used in SMC, 3Com, and D-Link routers, but with an HP shell. The Linksys 4-port base model is only $55 and the D-Link is only $42 (even has a $10 MIR) at MWave, so take a look at those since they're more popular and you'll find better support. Hope that helps.

Edave,
Do you have a Best Buy in your area? If so watch the adds. I just bought a D-link DI-604 last week, $49.95 with $30.00 in rebates = $19.95. so far works great.

Keep an eye on Bestbuy online...they offer free shipping & probably the same sales as the fliers (but not sure about that).

AFAIK, the HP router is built in Taiwan by Compex...not exactly name brand...

Hi Reboot,
Thanks for the info.I think im going to get the Netgear or Linksys.
They both seem to get good reviews,so I should be ok with one of those.
Thanks again.
