so what multiplied by 2 gives 450? 450 is 100% or 1 225 is 50% or 1/2 perhaps this is the confusion, cause we are using daily language to refer to maths. In fact I would do it the other way around. initial price x 1xtime x+(1*x) 2xtimes x+(2*x) this gives x=150 The problem is in the comparison - when you read the characteristics of the devices, there are couple of differences that can not be neglected, but I agree 400 is too much. I think fair price for such a device would be in 200-300 range, what we also see for the Lynksis router.
