@fishepa well i like to know the differences be it little as it may between stuff. Im a techie at heart but there are lots of things i dont know. Before this, i thought most routers were the same. speaking of routers lol, this new router is wonderful. Have not had 1 disconnect since since i installed it yesterday morning. My other router would drop randomly for no reason, especially late at night. Im happy!

Speaking of which, I work in telecom and one time we had this meeting by this senior engineer who spoke about various things, including NAT, I raised my hand and asked for more information about it because it was Xbox 360 related, my co-workers thought it was funny that I said that at the meeting to the guy. And the look on the guys face when I asked was great! Bwahahaha...

Routers really are all the same, they just have different parts. But they all effectively do the same exact thing.

The internal parts are made by different manufacturers.

So basically ur just picking who makes a better router?

[Gotmadskillzson]

Pretty much.....some companies just use better parts and some offer more tweaking options then others too. Like mines I can have 50 guest accounts with it along with a seperate network for private use only. Just like I can have 2.ghz network and a 5 ghz network running at the same time. So in essence I can 4 networks running, with 4 different network names, with different passwords required for the different networks.

Or I can have certain IP addresses denied access after a certain time. Which is great for those who have kids and you want to make sure they go to bed when you tell them to go to bed and they not secretly playing halo reach in their room or surfing the web in their room.

Lol wow thats pretty cool. But u cant expect a $20 dollar router to be as good as urs right @Gotmad? Especially for gaming wirelessly without frequent disconnects?
