Here's the exhaustive method I used to choose this router:

"Sell me the most expensive router you have that isn't a D-Link."

The cost (all $300 of it) was absorbed by someone that isn't me, and isn't liked. Unfortunately its a very dumbed down router, and lacks many of the more technical features that come in handy on more elaborate designs. It does however work well.

I only wish my laptop did the same... Sadly no progress seams to be made thus far, and none will until August 10th at the earliest. In a few days I intend to start getting somewhat antsy on the phone, and explain how much money and loot it will take to make me a happy camper again. Honestly a laptop bag for my misery sounds adequate, but if they fight me on it, I'll fight back.

So sick of Dell.

I'd consider the Macbook range by the way, but there are a few major drawbacks. Firstly being the one button touchpad, which was a stupid idea from day one, and still is. Secondly, although owning a mac doesn't stand out among IT professionals, and god forbid, /multimedia/ students, sitting around the engineering common room with an Apple logo on your computer is a good way to get laughed at and insulted. Its like the Prius, you buy one and become a victim.
