Well, I upgraded to it because running torrents was requiring a daily router reboot. Now, it's more like monthly (or less). As far as the signal goes, I can only say that I get fewer drops at home instead of the office. Then again, my apartment is smaller. On the third (gripping) hand, the office has a lot more electrical noise in it. In other words, YMMV. Oh, and I don't know about Buffalo routers, but my Linksys was simple to upgrade. From what I understand, bricking is pretty rare. --BenD ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion is delivering applications solutions at at top companies around the world in government.
