    Asus RT-N66U - Looking at retiring the old girl to handle Fiber

    I've been drooling over at the MicroTik site. They sure have a lot more gear now than when I bought their then shiny new first RouterBoard solution. Does anyone know offhand if any of their cheaper devices will support LAN/WAN routing at something approaching 1GB ? And/or can someone tell...

    Asus RT-N66U - Looking at retiring the old girl to handle Fiber

    Similar requirements here as sonic.net fibre was just installed today... following along with great interest. Gradually scaling back on geekery in favour of "it just works", so something that has: * 3-4 gigabit ethernet ports, * can NAT as much as possible of a 1000mb x 100mb connection *...
