Strengths: Very complete product. All the functionality you would want for a home office, especially:VPN client supportUSB print server.11g Wi-Fi4-port switchAuto-sensing uplink port
Summary: Netgear 1, Linksys 0. Netgear gets it right with a complete feature set, value, and reliability. Linksys may have the Cisco brand, but it has the reliability of an American car--hardly acceptable. My worst Windows PC wouldn't fail that often.
The Netgear box, it's very easy to set up, and it's a bargain as compared to my old Linksys WRT54G, whose wireless access would crap out--regularly. We're talking 2-3 times per 4 hour session. That's unacceptable. The Netgear box has yet to drop connectivity on 10 days. Networking, be it wired or wireless, is all about constant availability. The Netgear is rock-solid reliable. I cannot pay it a higher compliment.

Strengths: Couldn't tell you about it's strengths. Haven't gotten one that works with my computer yet.
Summary: Have been sent three units so far from netgear and have yet to get one that will work with my computer. There techs suck cause they can't speak english. Was told that there highest rated tech was working on the problem and i would receive a phone call from them with in 24 hours. That was over a month ago. Repeated e-mail have gone unanswered. And the phone calls go as far as talking to someone, then a transfer and then a disconnect. They suck!!!!!!
