Years ago I had some big problems with a Gigabyte board on a server. It died within 3 months of installation. I got a replacement via Gigabyte and the second one died also. So I was wary of Gigabyte. However they seem to have improved their quality. I have had two of the J1900N's running for months without any issues. That board I have mentioned took some hits because the first version of the firmware was rocky. Later versions fixed those issues. >>>Not so sure about Newegg returns. >>Difficult.
