    what makes it a super router? does it improve transfer speeds?

    Flash the thing to DD-WRT and you've got a very speed router with a USB port that you can add an external drive or a printer to. Basically it becomes wireless storage or a wireless printer. You might also be able to add a USB hub to the port and add even more printers or drives.

    why did you post that twice? DD-WRT is some great stuff.

    Pretty good reviews. I might get this and wait until the dual radio models come down a little bit. I don't have any N stuff now anyways.

    i have this router and have flashed it to dd-wrt. I like the interface, it is pretty, but i don't really know how to utilize it to its fullest extent. I am kind of a networking noob, i guess. Anyways, i was wondering why my game servers (like in steam) never refresh as many servers when my computer is connected through a router, vs straight to the modem. is there any way i can fix this?

    I went ahead and grabbed one. I can always demote it to a bridge when I get something faster with gigabit. By the time I need it the dual radio N models should be around this price and I'll have a bridge and 20 extra bucks.
