Hi,
Wonder how it compares to WRT610N, V2?
I am still using an old WRT500N with dd-wrt firmware.

just out of curiosity, got more than one puter on your network (or an old
one?) i have an older laptop... wireless with a few broken keys, but use it
an always on catchall/smart network device Got a few TB usb drives, usb
printer etc on it, and use it from my other puters (even my ipod!) rather
than try to install on each device it self, i use it over the network as
sort of a poor mans network storage + network print server, or for big data
transfers, just plug the big drive into the usb port on other machines....

was what you typed above 1 GB external drives a typo, or do you really have
old 1 gig external drives? (heck, my USB flash drives are 32 and 64 Gig) if
that small, consider getting a boat and using them for anchors

its not required to have internet access/modem connections to set it up,
only prefferred AFTER it is set up to use it with the internet, but you can
do networking without internet access..

ie, networking and routers is a different thing than the internet....

nope, you assume wrong, new product, not a "replacement"

Hi,
Let's compae it to car drivers. There are automotive vehicle operator
and driver. Do you know the difference? I am using older WRT610N using
both bands. I read one comparison testing between E3000 and WRT600N.
The difference was barely 10%. I have a E3000 on the way for my own
evaluation.
