  1. Nice device.. by Striikerr · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Looks like they added some neat sounding features and packaged it i a neat looking package. They give you gigabit switch ports for LAN. This is more hype than anything as the majority of the traffic will be rolling out to the internet and a much slower rate (via the 10/100 WAN port). Even if you wanted to play locally, the gigabit speed would do nothing to improve play. (but hey, it's nice to have and who knows what the future holds)
    They added some firewall policy content for current popular internet games so you don't need to configure ports which I suppose is a plus for most players.
    It provides wireless connectivity as well. Since they are holding the hand of users in the firewall port configuration, I am hoping they stress wireless security concerns. Overall it looks like a nice device.
