Cool - I=92ll let you know when the CRS-125-24g-1S-2HnD-In is in hand.=20=


And thats great news on the RB450G, though i thought ( and the RB493G ) =
had AR8316s in them ( I could be, and probably am, wrong though. ). =
Still awesome to here. I would love to get this thing self contained ( =
like my RouterStation Pros ).=20

cheers,
