[Lancaster] looking for a good wifi router

[Jonathan Archer]

Hi,

Yes it does look a decent unit and for the price its an absolute steal..

My only grumble would be the fact the physical ports are only 100mb,
their current gigabit models don't seem to be supported by dd-wrt yet
(i'm sure they will work though).
