[QUOTE="cranky, post: 1478315, member: 9160"] It may be or it may not be, it depends on the device. I believe the Asus works well when you buy the new ones (mine is the older V1 router that has multiple personality issues). The N-13U is supposed to do the job well and yes, it is supposed to be plug and play. I did manage to download a torrent here and there and though the speed was bollocks and the files incomplete, it is easy to complete a partially downloaded torrent (this forum taught me how to do that) once I copied it back to my PC. After a few firmware updates that feature just stopped working. Just like that. Though to be fair, the updates gave the router itself a slightly better performance. Look it's your call. There are many options. I am now on a PC-based setup, with a single machine doing duty as a NAS/fileserver and a router of sorts to run the internet throughout the house. The old router is now defunct. My PC is similar to the choice that DarkAngel gave you, except that it uses a board with more storage slots and regular DDR2, because I had so many hard drives around along with some spare RAM.
