Cool site, just discovered it. I especially like how in the reviews here, the router's wan/lan throughput is measured.
My network is simple; DSL modem (bridge mode) > linksys e2500 (100mbit) > linksys se2500 gigabit switch > 2x linksys e2000's, one running 2.4ghz and the other 5ghz. i've used a pentium 3 and 4 for different NAT boxes in the past via linux, but they both died and really used too much power. they were nice, though. that said, i want to replace the e2500 with a decently high mhz cpu to use, at the very least, as a low power/decent performance NAT box, and possibly additional APs. I'm considering this; http://www.walmart.com/ip/Linksys-Wireless-N750-Dual-Band-Router/22236206 - from my very quick search, seems to be the best price per mhz. that said, are there better/cheaper options? i've got dd-wrt on my APs and know linux, so i'm not scared of anything less conventional than typical consumer products.
thanks.
