For simple curiosity, I'd like to know why you don't think it qualifies as a true gigabit router. The network layer (if I remember my OSI model correctly) is the IP level, correct? How can the router not be aware of the IP layer? I probably don't understand what you mean by the term aware.
Technically, it's a router with two 10/100 ports and a built-in four- port GigE switch. The reason it's not a "gigabit router" is that you cannot individually configure the gigabit ports to reside on seperate networks. It is the exact same thing as buying a two-port router, and plugging it into a five-port GigE unmanaged switch.
Still, if you only have a single network behind the router, it's a great fit.
