You're absolutely right.  You have to pay more for something than a nice 
meal for two costs -- for it to operate as well as you're expecting them 
to.  Basic economics.

The frustration is understandable but quite futile for a device that 
probably costs $25-$35 to produce.

If anyone's needs for their network include uptime; they don't buy stuff 
in the $100 retail price range or below to handle the job.

I'm glad you found some that work well, it's more of a feat at that 
price than you might think.
