Crappy ADSL model cum wireless AP

The modem I use at home is Level One brand.  It's not even one year old, and the power button has already gone kaput.  It's just a bad contact.  If I press really hard with my finger, it'll stay powered on, for as long as I have my finger on it.  But it won't stay there on its own.  That sucks.  But tonight not even that.  I'm disappointed.  On the other hand, the other one, Linksys I'd been using for about three years now is still good as new.

I should point out that out of the box, this Level One piece of crap needed a firmware upgrade because otherwise it would disconnect me each two or three minutes.  It drove me nuts until we discovered that the problem would be solved by a simple software upgrade.  But come on, out of the box you already need such a thing otherwise you can't use it?  That's not right!  I'll never buy anything else from this brand.
