Thats fairly debateable

Cisco don't make the best switches, routers, firewalls, or wireless products. The are a jack of all trades, master of none.

Neither that nor the one AckAck listed have SPI throughput spec's (or even concurrent tcp session limits). So imho they're still low end products that will struggle with any load if they avoid stating their real capabilities.

Look at an entry level Sonicwall, Juniper, or Fortinet for a decent solution.

well I purchased the Linksys model WRT330N as recommended, and after doing some homework. Setup was typical for a router and without hitch(4 or 5 steps and very easy)

My throughput to my PC is now a screaming 14511 kbps. I'm quite pleased.

Thanks everyone for your help!

This is true, back in high school when I took some Cisco networking courses I think my opinion would stand up a little more than it does now.
