well if they're not installed it doesn't prove anything. If many are
installed and failing, then there's a case against Draytek.

they are extremely well known people have them at home because they are
cheap. So ppl know about them.

The one huge commerical environment i am aware of swear by the draytek
vigor. They say it's a top of the range , top notch router. They also
have multiple levels of network security there. Very paranoid.

it's hard to see your reasoning here, the answers to your questions
aren't so obvious. Belkin may be ok for cables, but they make terrible
KVM switches and Reverse KVMs, so, I wouldn'tr trust them with a
Router!! I have asked people about router makes and they say belkin is
worst.
They usually say LinkSys is best (linksys being adivison of cisco
probably helps)
users of netgear and dlink both have their share of bad experiences.
I also heard good reports about Watchguard routers.
Maybe Draytek and Watchguard are more for commercial environments or a
techie home. I guess cisco would be one up on that.
