I can't wait to see the reviews that will start coming in.

Things I'd like to see:

- Wireless performance vs its competition
- Functionality of its "automatic" traffic recognition and prioritization
- Usefulness of its UI

In general, anytime a product touts an ability to "automatically" classify and treat your traffic/devices for optimal performance - I have doubts.
I am not as interested in what it gets right, but more about what "mistakes" it will make in doing so.
If this router will display devices/traffic streams to the user via a comprehensive UI - then at least we can see what it is doing "in action".
If it can do that - and the user can be satisfied that certain devices are given the priority (we) want it to have - then this will be a winner.

I wonder if this router is going to be worth the upgrade price over the 4500???

[FurryNutz]

I paid $200 for my first 4500...

I wonder if this router is going to be worth the upgrade price over the 4500???

[XS]

I paid $90, lol.  I mean will this router be worth the $180-$200 that it retails at or should we(I) just be content with the 4500???  I am sure you will test it out! Let us know if your KDR and SPM go up in black ops 2!!!

[FurryNutz]

You'll need to determine weather or not if you can be content with the 4500 or will need to upgrade sir  .

[dyvurcz]

Just pre-ordered!  Hopefully my access point will work with this

What? that make no sense sir, lol.  If no one see an improvement in gaming then its definitely not worth it!

[FurryNutz]

Think you need to re-view the video on what the core of what D-Link is doing with this router sir.

[XS]

Ok I will check it out again!
