[citation][nom]daworstplaya[/nom]I've purchased Trendnet stuff in the past. Horrible quality, never buying another Trendnet product ever again.[/citation]

I own a D-Link gaming router, and my previous router was a Microsoft one so I wouldn't know. However, for me personally I am much more interested in firmware update availability, GUI (interface, and ease of setting the router up), and security. The interface should be able to use almost any web browser and have available very detailed descriptions for each setting. If I have a any questions I want tech support I am able to reach via phone on an 800 number. Email is painstakingly slow and a lot can get lost in translation, but necessary for companies who do not have someone available 24-7.

I am looking forward to this technology. Streaming BluRays will be easier, especially at distances. Overall signal should be stronger.

I am very disappointed that it doesn't have 5GHZ. I would expect a router that is going to retail for $200 to have dual, simultaneous bands....

I was planning on putting this in a friends new house but I don't think so now. At least, not until they release one with dual, simultaneous bands!

who'd have thought the first one would come from TRENDnet?
I've always considered them a cheap "me-too" company...

Too bad its only usable on intel laptop hardware so far. Guess it's gonna be a while before we see any real use from this product.

I believe you just answered your own question.

You hit the nail on the head, Zyxel used to be good as well as Asus running dd-wrt. No alternative firmware for a router then I will not buy it.

Price is a bit high, would expect some usb or pci adapters running at the same speeds to be included in this price.

No help having a 450MB/s router and a 802.11g 54MB/s or 108MB/s usb / pci connector.

So if I connect with 3 laptops having Wireless G, can I transfer files from one to another at 100Mbit/s (11MB/s)?

450mbps flowing over air? Wireless tech is probably one of the things that we don't know about yet, but is probably horrible for human health. No doubt it is awesome, but somehow it doesn't seem....right?

What's the point of 450 Mbit wireless? Wireless is no good for gaming, or other latency sensitive applications. Wireless is never used for servers. Any critical application uses wired LAN connections which are much faster than 450 Mbits and more reliable too, since their not subject to outside interference. So what's the point of this product?? You don't need that kind of speed to check your email or casual laptop/ipad web browsing.
