All consumer network equipment is equally junkie. I too have D-Link router because they were the least expensive of the junk. And Netgear gigabit switches because that's what Staples had the day I was there.
Don't fret over this gear. As long as it moves bits, and doesn't need to be rebooted more than once a month, it's good.
Oh, the commercial gear is waaay too expensive. Even at work, only the core of our network has high-end managed switches (because we needed some of the functions, mostly VLAN tagging). The rest is from the same line as the Netgear stuff I have at home, the bluish-purple rectangular boxes.
