    I know some one who has this router already and live in a fairly old house 3 floors and stone walls and she said the signal strength drops a bit in some locations but for the most part is very good.

    I'll pass along feedback when I get it up and running

    Got the router and the access point up and running after a couple of flase starts (i.e firewall rules!!)

    I'll post what the connection speed is but so far i tried a quick game of Project Gotham 2 and everything seemed fine.

    Well recommended.

    More to come

    Looked at the router in the link, and I think it seems good, but I have a question:

    * I guessing it doesn't include a modem, so is there anyway of connecting a USB modem to it. I don't think it has a USB port, so can you convert a USB wire into an RJ45?

    I really want some sort of a wireless router, but I haven't found one that lets USB modems connect to it. I think router with modems installed are too expensive.

    Thanks
