I've had too many problems with Linksys. None with Netgear.
I've had problems with the Linksys not being able to connect to DNS servers for 30 minutes after a configuration/reboot, i've had issues with the DHCP not working when the router was configured on a static IP address, built in firewall disables computers for accessing the internet and more. I've been though a dozen routers on multiple connections, all of which was returned to the store.
Picked up a netgear, pluged it in, and 15 minutes later I walked off and never had a service call for it.
If you are on a dynamic IP and have DHCP set up with the firewall off you should be ok. But don't expect it to do much more though.
