I'm still quite intrigued by the these reports of "much better" wireless signal though, both the DIR-615 and the VM Superhub theoretically already transmit at the maximum legal limit, so either they're doing it really badly, or the "better signal" router is breaking the law. The latter probably wouldn't get certified for sale, so I'm really curious about what causes the former. FWIW both routers' radiation pattern is essentially (or can easily be made to be) isotropic in all directions so there shouldn't even be the possibility of "stronger signal" in one direction.

Well I may be wrong here, but for a start the Asus router has 3 external antennae whereas the D-link only has 2 and the SHUB has none. I'm also not sure what the configuration for each is, but the Asus has what I believe is the maximum number of arrays (3x3?) whereas the D-link does not. Not sure about the superhub, I would be surprised if it did as well. That doesn't really explain the range, though, so I'll stick with it being the antennae.
