- shuffle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8If it runs Linux like it's 802.11G equivalent from Linksys it can be done... :-)
- montage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Gawd it's butt ugly, can't these guys design something that looks good?
- jn024, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Does anyone know if this runs linux like the wrt54g models? I want 3rd party firmware on this thing.
- pkulak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I can't watch VBR video on my laptop from my server on the same network because 802.11G isn't fast enough. It's time for something faster, I say.
- deanlowe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Add torrent support and I'll buy 2.
- sorrow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Hahah that first price listing ($120) had me about to jump on Newegg and order one... too bad its actually $230, but sweet router none the less.
- ChileanGoD, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Yeah, it needs a missile luncher. It would just fit perfectly with the rest.
- splinter, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3There's no way you're going to get gigabit wireless speeds. For the same reasons that 54mbit speeds on 802.11g are *****.
- andrew.bell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It would be cool if you could subscribe directly to podcasts from this machine. I mostly use a laptop and I am never connected to the net long enough to download some podcasts. It would be ideal if this could download podcasts from iTunes, but iTunes on my laptop just gets the files from this box, but it looks like it is local. You get it? maybe this can be done but I don't know.
- ogre2112, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Finally a router with NAS-like features that lets you use an external hard drive! Thank you Linksys! That offsets the pricetag in my opinion.
Now if I only needed wireless. And a Nas. And Gigibit. Oh well. - ezrider0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2802.11n as a standard has yet to be published. In response to some other comments, 802.11g does actually achieve 54mbits/sec throughput. The problem with this number is that it is misleading. First, its rare that you have an Inet connection that is that fast, second, mBITS/sec is very different form MB/sec. keep that in mind. But for internal transfers, 802.11g is very fast, and I expect 802.11n will be significantly faster. Apple has taken the lead in publishing both standards, look for apple chips to support the 802.11n standard sometime just after xmas, right when the iTV comes out.
- quickjack, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Throughput drops geometrically with distance. "N" should significantly outperform "G" when you are 50+ feet or 2+ walls away
- nonsequitor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Another fact to take into consideration is that the wireless layer adds more overhead. The speed claims are never referring to the amount of payload data being transmitted, they like to count every bit that goes off the antenna.
- pkulak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"look for apple chips to support the 802.11n standard sometime just after xmas, right when the iTV comes out."
Too bad the "standard" won't even be done then. - billyliberty, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2$230 seems to be the MSRP. I sincerely hope that you never pay MSRP for anything!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I need N, try gaming over a wireless connection, its not that great, it does have some lag
- Grayfox777, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Damn... nice router... but just too much money!
- t3hX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah, it does.

Hell yeah!! - zdiggler, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I don't know about you guys but I have not seen a Router perform as they Advertise.
You don't really need N. I still use my Cisco 350 B card. Have better range then any new thing out there and reliable. I could Stream Divx on my laptop without any hickup too.. VBR as too.
Actually download speed max out on this at 594/KB/sec from a Internet.
