Routers giving me some problems, or at least they were

So if you were to buy two routers. Neither saying that they support bridging. One, a name brand, the other generic. One saying nothing about bridging anywhere in documentation, the other having an unofficial way of bridging. One fugly as hell, the other sleek, pretty, quite nice. Which do you think would be sitting on my desk, bridging the ISU network properly? If you guessed the name brand, unofficially supporting bridging, sleek router, you would be wrong. After much frustration with my Netgear router trying to get it to bridge the ISU network, it’s the “Hawking Technology” router that is working great, sitting on my desk bridging both wirelessly and wired without a hitch. Meanwhile I consider what I might wan to do with this Netgear. I might see about setting it up in the den upstairs, but that means tinkering some more and making sure the damn thing isn’t NetReged to me. We shall see.
