The SMC was rock solid, but I had a heck of a time getting the D-Link working as well. I've got the D-Link hooked to my Netgear wired-only router.
Still, I have to agree with
UAVirgin and others. I've worked with several other brands as well - my advice would be to stay away from Belkin, but SMC/D-Link/Linksys/Netgear are pretty much equal these days IMHO.
