Gigabit LAN and WAN ports, easy to setup and run, intelligent QoS, the router pretty much has it all. It still sells for around £80 too, so I can't honestly see the one VM are giving away with the 50mb connection as being better really.

It's also got a list of accolades longer than my arm, so I doubt I'm the only one in love with this bit of kit
This is exactly my thinking but I just wanted to be sure there wasn't some killer reason like faster speed or better reliability (even though my DIR-655 never goes down). In the world of Pre-N, you never know.

Thanks for all your replies. I will use the VM router as a fancy doorstop!
