You can buy a very good router for < $40.

A very good one? Which one would that be? The Barricade was a lot more.
And with "good" I mean something without a Chinese wall wart that gets
freaking hot.

IIRC my new Linksys 8-port was around $50. 4-ports are running around
$40.


I bought a Linksys before the SMC. It was DOA so I returned it. I didn't
like the plastic enclosure anyhow. The SMC looks a whole lot more
professional. Metal, built-in switcher supply and all that.

That must be why it was forever going out to lunch ?:-)
