It was an exceptionally shitty router, yeah. One of my roommates wanted to be in charge of the internet connection; she went with the lowest end AT&T plan, and she had the router that they had given her in her last apartment. On top of that, the cable going into the router was practically falling apart; I didn't actually know any of this until shortly before I moved out, at which point there wasn't a lot of motivation to do anything about it.

Upon moving out, I got a 18 Mbps cable subscription & a Motorola Surfboard Extreme. Now the only shitty piece of networking equipment in my setup is a Belkin wifi router that I haven't been bothered to upgrade.
