I think I'm with MJPS on this one, you get not many willing to folk out that amount for one small home network job would you....... it's not worth time in thinking about the answer Jon T unless it's your job while running a business... that quite fair wouldn't you agree. What I got did me just fine, all one is after in a home network is only one thing; Does it work ? In most cases that's all you need, plug you ethernet plug in & network all your devices that it's main function not a race to see who's got the best home network. Perfectionism never got anybody anywhere too fast just a name for themselves a bad one at best no offence buddy.
