I wonder why they didn't make it dual band. Also wonder if it will ever be available in Canada, the DIR-855 never was.
That's $300 USD.. I don't feel like spending that type of money on router where most of it's features will be in a closet with close door. They need to put those features in another router. But I see the need for those extra LAN to WAN and WAN to LAN speeds for moving media faster using full duplex mode in Gig. So that means most Gig switch in these routers are not set to full duplex or just not using full features of what Gig switch port should be.
