Thanks for your info, much appreciated. I've gone ahead and ordered it.

Re: looking for a good Wireless Router for 100Mb

I've looked at the tomato site says linux on it?

I've never used linux not too fussed if I want to install this on the router would be a simple plug and play to use or will I need knowledge of linux to use the router software?

I can't do with the hassle from the wife if she can't get connect to the net and I need a router with a great signal to reach the whole house from downstairs.

In spite of seeming complex it is only a 10 minute job to install tomato usb. In the remote chance of a failure their is a recovery procedure which also gives the possibility of reverting back to an asus firmware. Quite while you should want to though is beyond my comprehension.

I got this one as well but DGND3700 (use both DSL/Cable) and the wi-fi for 100 Meg is much better than Superhub wi-fi on the modem mode enabled
