Hi,
Im looking into getting a new router to replace my Netgear WPN824 because basically, its crap.
Looking into Wireless N as im getting a new laptop in a few weeks which will have the capability. I also want Gigabit ethernet.
I was just wondering if the CPU in this router will be up to transferring 20Mbps from WAN-WLAN and WAN-LAN. At the moment, the WPN824 cant deliver 20Mbps from WAN-WLAN.
Also wondering if this router will cope with 50Mbps if i decide to upgrade to this?
Thanks

They are one of the more high end makes and potentially have the performance you require.
I would look for reviews of the product by magazines and other users.

your original post sounded like you were a business user or something.. why the need for such routers? surely you can find something inexpensive yet effective imo
