Yes, it does have more features but it is not as fast as the RT314. Yeah, for most people it may not matter but I get upwards to 4 - 4.5 Mbits down with my cable modem and routers like Linksys with reduce that. I am not sure what the bandwidth limits are on the SMC and the NetGear but if you go to practicallynewtworked.com you will find the SMC rated as fast and the NetGear as VERY FAST. I think the Linksys is only relatively fast which equated to about 2.5Mbits/s.
