HI,

This is my frst post here. I've just come across this product. I can't say enough how great I think it is that you guys are actually marketing an open router. I REALLY want this to succeed as a product because a big success here will send a very positive message to all other equipment manufacturers out there, about the reality that opensource and home developers/experimenters do exist as a larger group than they realise, and we are worth providing products and support for.

 Having said that, there are 2 things I think will be absolutely critical to a big sucess of this product that I feel are being totally ignored so will almost certainly cause this product to get overlooked by the marketplace.

 1) BETTER ADVERTISING. I'm a professional software developer, tech. enthusiast and general tweaker of home tech. I surf the net for hours every day (don't tell my boss) reading tech stuff yet even I've only just now found out about this product, and basically found this website almost by accident. The many Linux, opensource and mainstream hardware websites like "Toms Hardware" love to hear about this kindof thing. Send them one so they can do some reviewsand spread the word!!

 2) Add (draft) 802.11N support to it. G is so yesterday. Remember you're dealing with tech.geeks who by their nature are pushing boundaries so want the latest stuff, not some 4+ year old protocol. If his product had hardware that would support (draft) 802.11N I would definately buy one. The lack of draft N (as far as I can see from the website as it doesn't mention N anywhere) is the only reason I won't be buying one. If the product actually does have it, then tell people!!! please mention it somewhere on your website!!!

Once again, I want this whole idea of open products to take off, so please give this product the chance it needs to compete and succeed against other closed routers. There should really be no reason why anyone would choose to buy a closed-source rotuer over an open one, all other things being equal.
