    Thanks somms! I didnt even realize those two routers were only 2.4Ghz. I thought to be Draft-N it would have to run at 2.4Ghz and/or 5Ghz! The WRT610N is around 160$, well outside my budget since I have to also purchase him a PCI or USB network adapter. while all the others listed are...

    Intell 5300, Blinking Wifi Light!

    My Intel 4965AGN did not have this light flashing like this. It was ON, till i turned off wireless/bt using the wireless button on the M1330. NEVER EVER did it flash... This bright blue flashing is the most distracting thing ever. I might go back to the 4965 if i cant fix it.
