Current bid on mine is £45 on eBay but Google Shopping shows many retailers at around ~£60 including delivery and "mainstream" ripoff shops selling at about £80 (e.g. Maplin). Its smaller brother (TL-WR3600 300 + 300) is about £10 less all round.

With hardware NAT making it capable of around 1Gbps routed internet speeds, and reasonable (the WR2543ND wasn't superb) simultaneous dual-band wireless it's probably everything the Superhub *should* have been.

And yet a small almost no-name Chinese company have managed to design and build the hardware and firmware for two generations of routers in the time it's taken Netgear to get their firmware from R30 to R37 on a single router... Makes me wonder.
