You're listing all the stuff I want to get, Ive been looking for a new router because the one I have doesn't send a very good signal. Watching this as-well! OH, and BTW, we got our new boat stereo yesterday before the little mad man showed up. I have to go today and get the water proof cover for it then find a pro to install it. Dont suppose you have any good "blues" stations saved on the Sirius...
I did have B.B. King Bluesville programmed...excellent station. As for the router, it works excellent in my area. I don't understand why there is a difference in signal with each manufacturer, but I had 3Com before getting Linksys and there was a significant difference. Even if you don't get this unit up for auction, you may want to try Linksys. I got a new one about a year ago with antenna thinking that it would give an even better signal...small difference. I would not use any other brand. It's funny that this router is so small and simple looking but picks up such a strong signal...at least where I live.
I have a D link now, and gives poor signal, I think I need to try one that has a long range, or one that has more of a direct pick up. I forget what they are called, but they receive signal from a 90 degree area and not the 360 that most do. Does that make sense? lol.
