Linksys' WRT150N, one of their Draft-N routers and certainly more expensive than a WRT54G: 10/100.
Dlink's WBR-1310, a fairly run of the mill 802.11G router: Not clearly listed, but 802.3u means 10/100.
Netgear's WGR614, another run of the mill 802.11g router: 10/100.

What I'm getting at here is that most modern routers DO NOT support gigabit ethernet, unless you're buying higher end network equipment. If you're just buying the standard unit for around $50-70, you're only getting 10/100. And you know what? That's fine. Gigabit ethernet won't provide a tangable difference for the common user. Where-as this product is blatently aimed at making the average person think "Oh, this way I can get the fastest wireless without buying that $120 router over there. What a deal!" But they don't even realize that their ethernet port isn't fast enough to match the access-point-with-a-pretty-name.

Intentional deception by hardware manufacturers.]]>Feb 6th 2008 7:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/06/trendnets-300mbps-wireless-easy-n-upgrader-wont-put-your-route/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/06/trendnets-300mbps-wireless-easy-n-upgrader-wont-put-your-route/Feb 6th 2008 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/06/trendnets-300mbps-wireless-easy-n-upgrader-wont-put-your-route/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/06/trendnets-300mbps-wireless-easy-n-upgrader-wont-put-your-route/Feb 6th 2008 1:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/06/trendnets-300mbps-wireless-easy-n-upgrader-wont-put-your-route/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/06/trendnets-300mbps-wireless-easy-n-upgrader-wont-put-your-route/Feb 6th 2008 2:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/06/trendnets-300mbps-wireless-easy-n-upgrader-wont-put-your-route/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/06/trendnets-300mbps-wireless-easy-n-upgrader-wont-put-your-route/Feb 6th 2008 2:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/06/trendnets-300mbps-wireless-easy-n-upgrader-wont-put-your-route/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/06/trendnets-300mbps-wireless-easy-n-upgrader-wont-put-your-route/Feb 6th 2008 2:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/06/trendnets-300mbps-wireless-easy-n-upgrader-wont-put-your-route/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/06/trendnets-300mbps-wireless-easy-n-upgrader-wont-put-your-route/If this is just an ethernet 802.11n bridge. Perhaps this is the best way of hooking an XBox360 up to the internets - and to some HD content on my media server.
