LMAO at the thought of a dwagon being suspended by his nutsack

Hmm, I never said you had to have a wired system, hell does anybody rely on just a wired system at homes these days
I know only too well just how much wireless gear you have in your household, but its only advantage is its sheer convenience, it sure as hell is no

Dude... lookit the specs. Sure it's no Aruba modular mesh WiFi network, but for home WiFi it has more than average throughput and independent connections. Sure, if I wanted to spend $300 on something from ASUS I could get better; but not by a lot. Plus, MY VR machine and the TV in the LR are connected via hardline to GBe. ![ThumbsUp :-+](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/icon_smile_thumbsup.gif.pagespeed.ce._JElyJQqdB.gif)
To get any more real throughput I'd have to go 10GBe... and to utilize that would require bumping up to commercial ISP or at least a frac t1.

Oh yeah, the specs read alright, but how much of that is marketing wank?
None of it on that sheet is marketing wank... it's all technical specs & I understand what it means. Cable MODEMS work similarly to how a T1 is broken up; the main difference is a much more advanced channel modulation scheme.

I'm paying for 100/10 & I'm getting 190/16 right now, often as high as 225/20. My Rogers Cable MODEM has 8 live channels on the wire, which is typical for up to 250/50 service.
None of that makes ANY difference to THIS router tho... what I want to do is reconfigure it for a closed subnet over GBe with VPN so I can manage my own home network AFTER the Rogers MODEM.
It has great hardware with plenty of horsepower to do what I want; The only thing that stands in the way of doing THAT is software... even if I CAN configure the stock FW to do what I want, I'm not sure I want to trust the ISP-designed FW in this thing, which doubtless is full of backdoors for their mismanagement team and already has a well-known WPS exploit (which I always turn off by default anyways).
*sigh*
I got my money's worth just tearing it apart to see what's inside.

Worst case, I'll still get a nice compact 60W PSU and $5 worth of cords out of the deal if I can't find/install a generic FW on the thing.
