Netgear.... used to be good. No longer good.
ReadyNAS series unreliable piles of garbage. Can't tell you how many of those we've had in with various failures - our normal routine is to throw them away.
The switches are just about OK if you want unmanaged switches but they don't all deliver true gigabit for example.
The routers give poorer performance as a general rule in my experience for a given line - so you don't get the maximum potential from the dsl circuit.
And yes... then there are the virgin media super hub units which are of course netgear. Nuff said.
