Cool

They have the Linksys BEFSX41 and SMC 7004VBR in stock. I have a SMC and am very pleased.

I would choose the SMC over the Netgear...
I found it in three places for less than $60, the lowest being $45.95
The Linksys is only $68 at Newegg.

can you tell me what the differences are? the second one seems to have a lot more features, but they're the same price.

Get the SX, especially if it's the same price.
