i have just found one small issue with useing the vmng and an external router..
wan throuput not all routers that support gigabit lan have a fast or gigabit wan port.. most common routers have a low wan throuput that will drop your speed..
example.
i had a dir615 with ddwrt hooked up to it after a few speedtests i noticed that the tests gave me a max of 85megabit down.. so i looked at the spec sheet for the dir 615 and found out that the wan side was only rated at 85 megabit..
so after popping down to the local pc shop came back with some pci gigabit network cards threw together a moonwall x86 linux firewall router.. i now have a constant 102megabit connection and my upload has gone up 10% to just over 9megabit.
capt coax
ps im still very happy
