Good to= know. Although frustrating however.

that it was a C5 v2 (only noted on the router itself), which is a

Somehow, this awful habit of the home router industry has gotta change.

=C2=A0While I look forward to benchmarking a "new" product with i= t's
default firmware, it was not my intent to support in any way yet
another model change of this sort. To add even more insult to
injury... this ostensibly "new" product is running kernel 2.6.36.= 4
according to their GPL drop.
