I knew I should have waited!

In my mind the V2 USB said interim model. But I really wanted to see if it helped my VOIP problems. And I have only been running the 66 for about a month when I determined that Merlin's build satisfied all my minimum needs. Arrgh.

I'd still want to see disk benchmarks first. I doubt the CPU has the muscle or the bandwidth to push a full 5 Gbits over USB3.

I see even more routers coming from Asus in the near future, based on things I have noticed in the latest GPL code...
