    after the experience I had with the linksys WRT350N, I would avoid ANY linksys products. damn thing was a lemon.

    my father just bought that bad boy. maybe i will give him my old router for his new. let's see if he notices.


    ps
    a woman at linksys told him "not" to password protect his network. can you believe those idiots. and no, did not tell him to use MAC addresses either.

    Antennas removable/replaceable? B/c I have noticed that LinkSys likes to make them permanent to stop people from broadcasting to other planets after installing DDWRT.

    @JerseyCam.orgFounder_GitEmSteveDave: [www.amazon.com] Judging from the 3rd picture, they seem to be removable.

    @hanswurst0815: Crap, you're right. And even more shocking, it uses a SMA connector instead of LinkSys's usual honking TNC connector, which means using an external is easier. This must be a trap.

    @AllToAll,ByMyMustard!_GitEmSteveDave:I think there's still internal routers, the external's cost extra AFAIK.

    @VenomIreland: I meant using an external antenna is easier. Before you had to get an adapter to connect a 3rd party antenna.

    @AllToAll,ByMyMustard!_GitEmSteveDave: I didn't even know there are other connectors. I only used DLink and AVM routers and cards and so far and the antenna connectors all looked the same.

    @hanswurst0815: Linksys uses a big honking connector called TNC vs the others SMA

    That's probably a good idea because Linksys makes dud firmware. I've got the dual-band N router that didn't work well until I flashed a new firmware onto it.
