    Should I get the DS1511+?

    I concur. Obviously I need to spend more time the (sarcasm=on) fine, exhaustive documentation ! (sarcasm=off).

    WNR2000 - Not Hidden, but Hidden

    As stated, no connection could be established with encryption turned off. Yes, I should have done that. Not sure why using NETGEAR is an issue, especially with no neighbors.

    WNR2000 - Not Hidden, but Hidden

    Correct. Yes. I did have to manually enter the Key on both PC to get them to work. I'm not going to get into a p!ssing contest about what encryption is better. The router is literally located in "the back woods" so someone breaking in is highly unlikely (closest neighbor is 1,500' away)...
