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....
