Yeah ... I did some research yesterday afternoon ... then stopped in a local Office Max in my po-dunk town ... picked this one from the selection they had there.  I wanted to have it in place before my BF2 (AIX2) gaming last night with friends... and I have to say .. so far .. I am thrilled in comparison.  Even got 2 speedtest.net results in a row above 25Mbps this morning at 7am (I pay for 10Mbps) ... lowest it's reported since I put it in was 5.5Mbps.... unlike the 1.5's I was getting out of the Belkin.

The new one also has sharing via USB .. but it is not a true NAS (which would be much cooler) ... more like a networked USB port that you can assign to one PC at a time... it's nifty .. but doesn't really do more than you could do by just setting up your workgroup or domain correctly and mapping drives to other PC's to transfer/access.  And you could set it up to share a USB printer too... again .. one PC at a time can "check out" the USB port as it's own.
