That "draft" N doesn't concern me much - I figure that the wrt610N will see at least a couple of firmware updates which could emcompass any nits in the operation. For the price, I'll probably pick one up if the promo price is still in effect this afternoon and just use the Actiontec in bridged mode. Heck, I need something to do with all this free time I have on my hands.... -- Will Honea
