Now that many motherboard and nas is equipped with faster than 1gbps lan ports, it would be nice to see more routers with them. One can still dream, thou?

Yup DLink is not known for keeping their firmwares up to date and plugging security holes.

And security is very important when your router protects your home network, I wouldn't use any of their routers even if you gave it to me for free.

Asus and specifically Merlin firmware for the win!

lollol you know that most routers use almost the same hardware and platform? Difference is usually the "brand".
