   It's about time. Maybe now manufacturers can make a 802.11n router that doesn't suck.

   Routers have equally sucked since 802.11b... Unfortunately, that has little to do with the wifi standard used.

   I'm less skeptical this time, but the IEEE network committee has been in the media again and again claiming "approval nears".

   I have the same one, bought it last year, it is great! With the gigibit I have 2 Computers, D-link 323 server and PS3 all hooked up, HD on the fly. Plus wireless is awesome, from basement to 2nd floor still 80%.

   Buy one, you won't regret it.

   I was actually going to point that out as an exception, but I didn't. I've had very good experiences with it. I'm sure there are other good routers out there too.. They are just very hard to come by.

   Yes sadly... I don't use wireless much but my RTA1025W has worked pretty solidly so far. My old D-Link DI-624 was absolute rubbish tho.

    the foundation for this subject was reported in http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic98671.html

    and I would have updated it there, but being in closed status, I can't edit my own post -- oh well

    I have the 615 version and i cant wait for my new one to come in the mail so i can turn parts on this thing into a key chain.
