    Maybe it's just me, but I would have expected some indication of how good the routers performance on a Gigabit network was.

    Just doing a 10/100 test does seem cutting it a little short...

    I have a Linksys WAG320N and while being cheaper it also offers everything that one does while adding a few high end things. Been rock solid for me and would recommend it to anyone.

    +1 here.

    Otherwise though, thank you Hexus. I've been eyeing this router for a little while now, and wondered if this 'self-healing' business was just marketing.

    The design reminds me of the old 2wire routers, why dont they just do an 'apple-esque' aluminium one or something.

    Billion BiPac 7800n looks like a better DSL router at the same price.
