| Also - crappy support across lines I purchased a business router/switch. They had three models. The first one I bought was the lowest cost model. I found it did NOT support NAT. I bought the medium priced model and after weeks of tinkering and being promised a beta update of the firmware, was told by their OUTSOURCED tech support - there is no beta and the NAT doesn't work - and I can't tell you if they are working on fixing it. I wound up exchanging for the top of the line model that worked - however I dared not to upgrade the firmware for fear of more bugs. The most irritating thing about Linksys was the AWFUL OUTSOURCED UNKNOWLEDGIBLE tech support. I had to explain NAT to over all but one of the operators!! | |

| Why the concern over the lack of memory Its not really needed anyways. When and IF people start to see or even use a 50MB pipe then it MIGHT be an issue, the real issue isnt memory but processor speed.
So while its not 32MB/8MB thats really not all that important given that it can still be modified with 3rd party software and its not 30$ more its priced the same given all the rebates being offered.
It also works with Verizon FIOS 30/5 package just fine. | |
