I own a D-Link gaming router, and my previous router was a Microsoft one so I wouldn't know. However, for me personally I am much more interested in firmware update availability, GUI (interface, and ease of setting the router up), and security. The interface should be able to use almost any web browser and have available very detailed descriptions for each setting. If I have a any questions I want tech support I am able to reach via phone on an 800 number. Email is painstakingly slow and a lot can get lost in translation, but necessary for companies who do not have someone available 24-7.
