Hi Kirk,

Thank you!

As a reseller, I do not sell Buffalo products anymore as they
are such bad quality.  I have had to return too many of them and
had to eat too much labor because of them.  So, poop.

I hope someone else comes out with a competing product soon.
Seems to me that as soon as the manufactures realize they
no longer have to support software, they'd jump on board.

Sub $70 routers are really pushing the low quality envelope
to start with, but customers won't pay for better.  (You truely
get what you pay for, but a lot of folks don't believe that
anymore.)
