I mean really? What do these traders produce? Nothing. But they earn money, quite big money solely on speculation. What is the purpose of this at all?

This may be exactly what they actually want to happen and /. is helping them with publicity here.

Linksys is a joke, especially since a word Cisco is written on it. I bought WRT150N and it didn't work over an hour under torrents load with its default firmware. The router hanged and had to be hard reset. And that with just 6 Mbit/s ADSL. Right on Linksys support forum I read about alternative firmware from some guy who had the same problem. I flashed dd-wrt on it and never had hang ups again. But maximum bandwidth in LAN I can get is about 25 Mbit/s. After such experience would never suggest buying Linksys to anyone.

Sure in DD-WRT external web access is disabled by default so it is necessary to enable it manually. But it is a quite convenient thing because DD-WRT provides a Wake-On-Lan functionality and it is possible to turn computers on in the LAN. When I go to work I can leave my home computer off and if I need it, I can turn it on using my router. Now I had to disable external web access until I update firmware to a safe version.
