SMC is the only way to go for home or light home/office use.

I have had two SMC in over 10 years. The first one died where I wasn't able to access Admin. They sent me a new one SEVEN years later at no extra charge.

Linksys, on the other hand, is TOTAL trash. I have a wireless router here that I planned to play with. I think this is seventh one they have replaced. All seven times they admit it was either DOA or just "bad".

Don't waste your life with Linksys.

Good Luck,

Pete
