Since most of my useage is through my wired network (pc's, streaming video/audio, file transfers...) wouldn't I be better off with the gigabyte ports? Does it make a big difference?
It really depends on your usage. You're not going to see any improvement except in local area file transfers and even then you may not notice. I am able to play a DVD from a different computer using a "B" router and a wireless connection. If you do large file copies on your network the gigabyte ports would benefit you. If you do mostly web surfing then you're not going to see a benefit.

When will the people realize that with DRM they aren't purchasing anything?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-need-network-advice-22691419 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 14:01:21 EDT need network advice http://www.dslreports.com/forum/need-network-advice-22691331
I do want to get a "N" router more for future wireless use than what I use it for right now.

My useage now and for the near future is 95% wired and local network use and I have a chance to pickup a new D-Link DIR-628 router locally for $35.

Now, I also can order a recertified NETGEAR WNR3500 for the same price and it has gigabyte ports.

Since most of my useage is through my wired network (pc's, streaming video/audio, file transfers...) wouldn't I be better off with the gigabyte ports? Does it make a big difference?
