For that kind of price, the specs for wireless router is just mediocre.

Draytek brand is well known over-priced Western brand sold in pound sterling currency.Not a wise decision.

With that kind of pricing level you're better off getting a high end Asus(Black Diamond or N16) or Buffalo model that is cheaper. You can also buy 3 sets of the TP-Link TL-WR1043D with an excess of RM800.

It has only 64Mb RAM + 8Mb Flash.

In comparison the Asus RT-56U has a 500MHz processor from Ralink with double amount of RAM-128MB with 8MB flash.You may disregard this factor, but for 3rd party firmware, this is a VERY important feature.

Now that's not just it. In about a year's time we'll even start seeing dual core CPU routers coming out the market. Just wait.

Please do not ignore the memory storage for the router's OS.

It's a very crucial feature for future upgrades when new features come in demand.

You're not going to be able to load the full package of the 3rd party firmware such as customized VPN support, CPU overclocking and ISP customizations without the extra storage.

This refers to a RM800 piece of hardware that was reviewed back in March 2010?

With over RM800, I'm better off getting an Asus RT-N66U aka the Dark Knight.

Only cost around USD$180-190(not even RM600)

Broadcom chipset.

Maximum simultaneous connections:

It can do twice as many as the Draytek2130n

Built quality is way better coming from the top motherboard manufacturer and superb quality heatsink that is as heavy as a brick.

Asus Malaysia provides 1 to 1 replacement as they were challlenged by TP-Link previously.

its rm480 for vigor2130n.. I don't think I will need to replace this baby anytime soon. But as you said, for cheap hardware you need 1-to-1 replacement

Its worth it. I own one, you don't seem to. As a satisfied customer with the superb hardware and the nice service by the people working there. I want to say all your nonsense is exactly that, nonsense.

I for one am very happy with Unifi despite what you say, its the best internet in malaysia, and I tried the majority nod.gif

We are talking about hardware here kiddo. What's with the ISP service promotion now on a hardware thread?

Your post seems more like an argument inciter than mine. I'm just making the public aware of a new router model that all.
