| I've got the SMC router, which has a 100mbit wan port. Regularly 9000+ kbps down and 1100 kbps up.
A friend just dumped his Linksys, which he averaged around 5k before and now gets over 9k.
One point you might want to consider: Most sites can't dish out more than 5000 kbps, so mostly, he notices no difference. Once in a while, though...

I was looking into getting the NR041 Network Anywhere by Linksys, which is highly recommended in the OOL forum, or the Linksys BEFSX41, which is also recommended. How is the port forwarding on the SMC and which model is it? I need port forwarding for both SETI(so I can use my personal cache from work) and remote access.

| I have an older smc, the 7004ABR, and am able to forward up to 20 ports. My home queue is visible from work, I also, when needed, have a development web server, ftp server, etc. set up.
I use Dameware remote to get into one of my machines remotely, from which I can control just about any other machine on my network.
I know the newer SMC supports all of this too.
While I have no experience with the router you're talking about, the Linksys products I've owned have been very good. I just like SMC a bit better (802.11a WAP and NIC, 7004ABR router, and a bunch of switches and NICs).
Either way, you should get what you need.
