Dose anyone know the flash and memory (ram) size of the 4500 ?
-
Might ask the people on the dd-wrt forum.
Might be 4 or 8. I presume 8Mb.
-
I think its 16MB of ram and 4MB of flash memory.

If thats it thats all it has :( disappointing :(
Considering whats it Represents as the Ultimate Gamer's Router
Better Processor, more RAM (Considering Large Traffic?), more Flash Memory (more or less a Separate flash module for the Logs)

Been the BEST router I've ever had. ;D ;D ;D

More RAM and flash doesn't mean better performance. Depends on how the firmware is built. One of the most common gamer router on earth (used by the most hardcore gamers) is a WRT54GL with Tomato firmware on it, which also runs on 16/4. Flash is for the firmware, and RAM is for the config file, and some other thinks like routing table, packet buffer, etc. If were talking about simultaneous connections, then yes, RAM can help, but the DGL never promised to be a bittorrent router. Heh.

It really is showing its age very quickly compared to all the other routers, But that is fine, most people won't use all the capacity this router delivers. For me I am already dieing for the next gen, this router is not powerful enough to handle much of the features it includes. Overall it is the best router I have ever had.

D-link has stopped further devolopment of the DGL line. Their next generations are finally jumping on the bandwagon and going internal antennes. (Booooooo). Their newest line up can be found here. (http://reviews.cnet.com/routers/d-link-hd-media/4505-3319_7-34468655.html). Looks like they are rebranding their "Gamefuel" to "HD Fuel" but is a simular intellegent QOS feature. They were announced at CES 2011. More info can be found here (http://www.dlinkces.com/MediaCenter-detail.html?item=6&name=D-Link%20Introduces%20HD%20Media%20Routers,%20Industry%E2%80%99s%20First%20Line%20of%20Product%20with%20SmartBeam%20Technology%20and%20500Mbps%20Powerline). Genally, if your looking for a DGL with better wireless capability, take a look at the DIR-855.
