Query: Constant drops / unreliable / do not buy

I bought two of these in a three month span and finally gave up and bought a Belkin Connect N150.I love the design of the Netgear WGR614 but if it's not reliable, the looks hardly matter. I googled this item and learned it has a history of drops and many sites discussed a fix of zero-ing out a default five-second setting to keep the connection alive. The only problem is,, that setting only works if your ISP requires you to login to your connection. I don't know about other ISPs or countries but in the US, neither Comcast nor AT&T; require you to login to your broadband connection -- it's "always on" which is one of the benefits of broadband. SO in the Netgear setup, the five-second setting doesn't even appear if you answer that a login is not required.For whatever reason, the Netgear WGR614 would randomly drop the Internet connection. After buying s second one that dropped even more frequently than the first, I gave up and went with a Belkin.
