Got in on this one. Good deal. I read in several places that a new firmware is out. Several people had reported that it
may loose the connection and needs resets quite often. Hopefully the firmware fixes that. Overall, SMC makes good routers. Let's hope we
do not get a lemon. You just cannot beat the price ($39.99 AR shipped)!!!

Why is it over? I still see it at Amazon. Did the coupon expire?

(you use a coupon and a rebate to get the price down)

I have the 7004VBR. It is the same excpet for not having the Wireless built in. I do not have any reset problems so this must be only related to the Wireless portion of the unit. Resets also seem to be very common with the Linksys?

does this have regular RJ-45 ports too?

In other words, can I wire my deskop to it and use wireless on my laptop?

Yeah, it has 4 ports for 4 computers in a wired LAN.
