[GTALUG] TP-LINK TL-WR810N (Was: (question) TP-Link TL-WR802N)

[Scott Sullivan]

Peter,

Nice find.

Looks like support has landed in Trunk (which will become the next 
stable release in the future)

The USB port does support data.

And NewEgg has it on special for $25 dollars at the moment.

... and ordered one.

Really, can't wait till trickle down brings 5Ghz to devices like these. 
I personally want to abandon the 2.4Ghz spectrum due to over crowding. 
There are only 4 AP's in the 5Ghz bands near my apartment, and there is 
no competition because of how wide the spectrum is.
