Not that strange, really. Because the people who do LOTS of internal file transfers are a very tiny percentage of the folks who purchase this type of thing.

So long as the wired/wireless ports are faster than the DSL connection, just about nobody ever gets any speed benefit from it over plain wireless-B.

Back to your current topic.. if you end up replacing the Netgear device, then go with a Speedtouch modem/router/ap, and put some surge suppression on it this time! smile

On both the phone line and on the power source.
