I am pretty sure I used the F7D4302 from toastman. Makes this device awesome.

I recieved mine on 12/29/2007 and after contacting linksys to aid in the install they advised me that it was version 8. The box has the s/n number as well as some other numbers but no version info.

Hi This particular product is version 1. The one for version 2 is this http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-Performance-Dual-Band-E4200-v2/dp/B0068ALV8Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1354196392&sr=8-1&keywords=e4200v2 . You are also correct that the different versions of the router accounts for different CPU or chipset. Thanks, Cisco-Linksys Support http://homesupport.cisco.com

It's been replaced by the Cisco-Linksys E3000.Cisco-Linksys E3000 Wireless-N Router^ That's definitely the router I want to get to start my wireless experience.

This version is ready to run. It contains the routerboard RB2011, pre-assmebled into the pictured enclosure with the antennas and touchscreen LCD attached. I recommend getting a couple of MMCX to SMA pigtails if you want to upgrade the stock antennas. Also upgrade the RouterOS version to the most recent if it's out of date.

IF the product you are looking at is model # F7D8301, then it has 2 USB ports. The F7D4301 is the same product, but supposedly a part No. change due to a marketing effort. Belkin makes a zillion routers in the same package, and usually the ones with only 1 USB have a part number ending in 02. Also, the 02s have a lower performance Ethernet switch. Look carefully at the amazon page to try to determine what you are buying. It's hard to tell who is making things more difficult for the buyer, Belkin or Amazon. Look for my review on the F7D8301. It works great with Tomato firmware, and maybe OK with the latest Belkin FW. IF the product you are looking at is model # F7D8301, then it has 2 USB ports.

The case of the unit I purchased locally is plastic. Although a metal case compatible with rack-mount would be nice this router is so feature-rich and good performer that it really doesn't matter. I prefer reliable software and good support to rugged hardware with crappy software (yes, I am looking at you TP-Link).

Both routers look great and meet my requirements. SlikLizrd, can you specify how much is one better than the other for: - Wired and Wireless performance - Wireless Range - NAS performance - Media Server performance Thanks

Hello sir, i am almost positive that your R542 PID fits in between that criteria for NOT being compatible unfortunately. As i read the description it says all PISs between R001-R199 and R636-R999 ARE compatible. All PIDs between R200 - R635 will NOT be compatible.....I got lucky with mine but noticed that it still runs pretty hot like my last one that lost and killed the LED lights inside of it. I hope this helps you out Sir.

I ordered the RT-N66W (same router in white) about a month ago and it came with the most up-to-date firmware already installed.

My 1400 is H/W ver. 2.0 according to the label on the bottom of the router and MBR1400v2 from the router details on the configuration pages. The firmware is v4.4.2. I have not updated to firmware version 5.0

I believe I still have the original firmware that came with the router which is 1.0.04 build 7 and it can be upgraded from the manufacturer website. However, I have found not need to upgrade

I have both dns-321 and dns-323. I am running 1.5T drives on my dns-321 with 1.01 FW. I'm still waiting for the FW for the dns-323 so my new dns-323 sits in the box until then. I am waiting for a sale on the 1.5T drives!BTW, I'm the original poster of this thread so I'm happily running those 1.5T drives I got. I want two more for the 323... Hope amazon has a good price on these drives!
