Anyone else seen these point of sale displays from
Linksys?

Somebody at their marketing department is getting
the message, anyway.

Well if there's something in their latest firmware to back that claim up,

Which is great except for the fact that their ad campaign says nothing
about actually setting the size of the buffer. But maybe I just missed it.
Here's the howto they link for setting up QoS:

after 15 months of trying, finally getting someone in marketing to pay a
little attention, kinda feels good...
even if they totally missed the uplink portion of the problem. Or maybe
they are doing detection?
From the url above....
*"NOTE:* You can set the *Upstream Bandwidth *to *Auto* or *Manual*,
whichever is necessary.
To allow your router to detect the maximum level, keep the default *Auto*.
To specify, select *Manual* then enter the appropriate bandwidth and select
Kbps or Mbps."
Perhaps some commentary on the above blog entry will clarify matters...
(keep it civil please!)
There's even a contest. Why didn't I think of that?
