"Read up on gigabit ethernet, most modern routers have this." Obviously you haven't been to an electronics retailer lately. I work for Best Buy and the only two consumer routers we have in our store with gigabit are the Linksys WRT-350N and the Dlink Hi end wireless N one (Cant remember the name, its white with MIMO and three antennas). The technology has been around for a while but you really gotta look cause products you expect to have gigabit often dont. And for all you guys out there who think Wireless N is in someway going to magically speed up your broadband connection that is probably capped at 25Mbps anyway you are living in a dream world. The only real world application for N is for sharing files across a network or streaming media from a home server to a UPNP enabled set top box etc.. If you are trying to do any of these things you will probably want to get yourself a decent N router like the WRT600N and use a good firmware like DD-WRT. That is really all I have to say about that.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
