[colug-432] Amazing Deal

[Matt Simmons]

Yes, they're very tricky about rebranding Linksys junk with a SOHO or
SMB/SME label, then selling it to people who trust the Cisco name.

>From the "Simple, browser-based configuration" feature listing, 1 year
warranty, and complete lack of failure rate stats in the datasheet (
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/routers/ps9923/ps9928/data_sheet_c78-496735.html),
I'd say it's definitely rebranded Linksys, not well-engineered Cisco stuff.

It'll probably work alright, I just wouldn't expect it to be overly
reliable in the long run. And watch the temperature on it.
