Got it and it seems awesome so far. I've got the router up in the kitchen,
with both Playstations in the basement rooms streaming video from
MyBookWorld, plus my phone and the iPad streaming Youtube (nothing HD mind
you) and no hiccups I can notice.

The 5Ghz light isn't even blinking...weird.

Thanks for the recommendation, you've never steered me wrong. The router
even has something called a Movie Engine, not a clue what that does, and of
course I still have to explore the other firmware option.

Amazing. Thanks man.
