I don't like hardware with a front panel display. I guarantee the first thing that will stop working is the front panel display. I purchased one of these:

Within two months the LCD went out and now only a blue glow with no display.

Point is - don't be sold on the bells and whistles. Be sold on function. You need a new wireless router for what application? If you already have a wireless router, why are you replacing it? What need doesn't it fill?

If you answer these questions you may decide you don't need a new router or you may decide on a router that's a much lower cost.

Nope nothing wrong with the current router but it doesn't have a fancy speedo on the front lol. Bells & Whistle's always been sold on the gizmo's me.

Thats why my car has over 10k of Options fitted :) over the standard spec. Thats also why its been in the dealer 10 times since Febuary for glitches in software or electrical faults.

But hey when it works its cool, who else can make a phone call, whilst recieving traffic reports and it updating the sat nav giving you a choice to detour with a 3D map on the 8.8 inch widescreen display whilst watching the factory fit Digital TV. Also with voice recognition, M series sport pack, full 18 way tripple heat massage seats, autoboot lid etc etc.

as I say I like a few options in my ride.

he he my ride pimped by the factory! raped by the dealer, driven like a stealer :)

Nice 8-)



I like the router. I wouldn't just buy one for the sake of it but if my one ever went wrong then I would be tempted to buy that one.
