I've had this router since May 2011. They had a period with some horrible firmware but now it seems to have settled down.
I'm not sure about a new version, but I would say that it should be imminent. By the way, Smallnetbuilder has given this router good reviews and the range is pretty awesome as is the routing speed. I can torrent, play games, wife does youtube, kids on the ipad and 3 smartphones syncing and all that, and it doesn't hiccup. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Anthony Q.

How long as this one been on the market? Do you think they'll come out with an updated version soon, one with USB 3.0 ports? I don't like buying USB 2.0 stuff anymore.
