Advantages: Fast reliable and secure Disadvantages: none it's brill
...soon I had ordered my Linksys WRT54GC from those very nice people at Amazon.
2 days later it arrived, and unaccustomed as I am to reading instructions I thought just this once I might just have a bit of a browse. This was mainly because I figured that the last router packed up prematurely because of something I did, which of course it didn't since being a man I'm flawless.
