Strange, there are 3 of them at my parent's place (thick walls) and no
problems so far. Granted, they don't normally get heavy load.
The D-Link thing that actually is the gateway there is an absolute load
of bovine droppings - DNS is so bad it's comical.
One solution is to hang around ebay until some low-end cisco pops up for
a small price, I suppose.

That actually looked pretty cool last time I checked.
OTOH if I really wanted to play around with that sort of thing (QoS
fiddling & so on) I'd get one of those Soekris/WRAP things - they're not
that expensive and you get a bit more oomph.
