[QUOTE="MilenkoD, post: 466193, member: 36349"] It's the USB thingy that I really want so I can transfer to the HDD on the USB port at 'n' speeds. No other computer / device in my home network is 'n' capable. Although the Xbox360 can use 'a', which I understand is supported by the AEBS. The reason I ask about the chipset is that I used to have a Linksys WRT300N, their first 'Draft-n' product with the Broadcom chipset. It was abysmal..it always dropped the connection from my dsl modem, had poor range, crappy 'g' speed and all my devices had trouble staying connected. I downgraded to a 'Pre-n' Linksys MIMO router and it's been rock-solid ever since as the MIMO router uses an Airgo chipset. My two issues with the Linksys is that my Macbook isn't 'Pre-n' compatible (only 'Draft-n') and there's a strange interoperability between the Mackbook and the Linksys where I can not access any Google properties (there are a few other sites too) while using WPA security. Hard-wired to the router OR using no security encryption work fine with anything google, but not otherwise. [/QUOTE]
