NewEgg's never been terribly good at transcribing mfg specs. Like their slogan says, "Once you know". If you haven't down-selected to a given model yet, research is best done elsewhere. :) The LinkSys specs (http://tinyurl.com/WRT610N) says it's a 4-port gigabit Ethernet switch on the LAN side. What I don't know is if it's a managed switch or not, or if the "Internet" port is included. One of the cool things about the WRT54G* line is that all five Ethernet ports are actually just ports on a managed switch ASIC. Port differentiation is done though VLANs. This makes it a handy, compact, cheap managed switch. It might be that the WRT610N just has a 4-port unmanaged switch ASIC for the LAN side. I also see they've changed the form-factor. I think that's too bad; I liked the old one better. It was square, stackable, had easy to see LEDs, and external (and mostly removable) antennas . This new one looks like it sacrifices all that. And uses those blue LEDs that I'm getting so sick of. Form over function, no doubt.. Marketing.
