Let me just tell you, this thing kicks ass!! If you are looking for a way to double your download speeds this is the best thing around.

The router it self was very easy to set up, all I had to do was plug in all the cabling since I?m on a dynamic IP. Configured some ports for Remote Access

After setting the Here are my results using this router?s Load Balancing features:

Using only 1 WAN port, you can see the DU meter window topping out

Using both WAN ports to download 2 files at the same time:

This is with crappy Comcast newsgroups with 2 day retention and about 80% completion. Let me explain the DU meter window; I started the download progressively, meaning that I can have anywhere from 1 through 8 connections using NewsBin Pro. The slow speed at the beginning of the graph is from 1 session, and I just kept upping it all the way till 8.

This is the effect using DAP, both of my connections topped out:

This is what the configuration screen for the Load Balance feature looks like while you are downloading:
The Load Balancing is set to session based, and if you look at the NAT statistics you can see that?s it?s maintain a nice even balance.

In conclusion, money well spent.

Cliff Notes: If you?re somebody who needs more bandwidth or would simply like to take advantage of his/hers available time better, this is for you. This allows you to double your download and upload speed and get stuff faster.
