You mean this?

It's just a rebranded WRT610N from what I've read. It's kind of funny how the WRT610N got so many poor reviews on Newegg, yet they juts changed the name and suddenly it got 5 eggs average. :P

That's one of the main reasons I don't really trust most of the "reviews" there. Check out my review I wrote for the Edimax N card I got for the HTPC (it's good for a chuckle) :wacko: . It's worked just fine for me on every OS from XP SP3 to 7 x64 and Mandriva Linux.

Scroll down to about the 7th one: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16833315078 :P

:P More people bought it but still at 4 Eggs.

Some reviews are pretty funny on how ignorant some users are claiming they're Expert too.

Yeah, Newegg should really watch out for these self set expertise levels, I would rather get rid of them so people can judge by quality of review to find the user's expertise level.
