Their chipsets are very similar, except the R7000 is higher clocked, at 1GHz instead of 800MHz.

CPU power is the main bottleneck for the OpenVPN server that I run on the router, so I'll take all that I can get. This is me lazying out of finally making my router be a pfSense-based PC.

I still just use the comcast provided "Modem // Router // Phone" combo unit.

I have a cisco router (read consumer, not a true cisco) that I could set up and flash with DD-WRT... makes a great little router but
I have no need. Not yet, maybe not ever. For now, she sits. I guess I should at least flash it while the guide is still findable.

If it is doing what it is suppose to do then why mess with it? :shock:

Sometimes "what it's supposed to do" and "what I want it to do" disagree :P

Oh Dragon, I should mention that when I got the R7000, it was bundled with an HDHomeRun: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6815345015

The two together for $220 made it a no-brainer.

OK I should have added "and be happy with what it is doing." to my statement. :mrgreen:

That is one ugly router. My router gives my 5 of 6 bars outside on my stoop. About 50' line of site. thru 3 walls, one an outside wall. And mine looks better. 8) Altho if needed, they are really good numbers. :thumb:

I dunno about that router being ugly, I guess it's not "nice looking" but man $250+ on a router?

That's a lot of dough, I don't think I've ever paid over $100 for one. Then again, I've only ever bought
2 routers in my life.
