diff between these two routers?

[dfarrales]

obviously, there's a price difference but can anyone tell me what the diffrences are in specs? i'm not that familiar w/ all the terms...

also, are there bandwith limitations to any of these? (even if they are high).

I did not do the exact math, but I think the difference is this:

4 Port Cable/DSL Gateway Router $15 After Rebate

haha! yeah, that's the difference that caught my attention... so no other difference in specs? also, how can i tell if there are any bandwidth limitations? are there normally any limitations for routers anyway?

thx...

Good Home broadband service hovers 1-3Mb/sec.

These Routers WAN is rated 10Mb/sec.

thanks for the info...

now what in the specs tells you that, or do you just know from experience? i'd just like to know so that i can keep that in mind in my search for a router.

the reason i ask is b/c i have surewest as my ISP (formally WinFirst) and it's a 'fiber line', although many people have told me that it's not EXACTLY a fiber line (not sure what they mean??). anyway, the advertised speeds are up to 10mbps (http://www.surewestbroadband.com/wf/products/data.html) and, of course, i'd like to be able to take advantage of what's available to me.

thx...
