Does Draytek make their own hardware or just rebrand their equipment?

Hi John

We stick to DrayTek. It used to be Zyxel, but we had some issues with them
(stopped working).
Also, our local DrayTek service is excellent which can be worth much more
than some saved $$ on a cheap brand.

I'm assuming wireless.
I honestly have a hard time with this. I have so many bad experiences with
new wireless routers that I stick with the old ones as long as I can. 
Latest fiasco - the highest cost Cisco/LinkSys consumer model $200. First
one lasted 15 minutes and died. Had to wait for a warranty replacement.
Installing it was just a pain. Works good now and has extremely high trough
put but man, can't say it was worth it. Could've run a lot of wire in the
time it took to do that.
Trendnet
NetGear
Dlink
Intellinet
Etc.
Just haven't found a company that produces good reliable routers anymore.
Netgear was on a role a few years ago but then took a turn for the worse.

So after all that whining ;-) 

It comes down to - throughput performance vs reliability - not sure how to
do that. The Cisco model is very fast.
