I've been waiting for the 855 myself. Version 2 (supposedly a better
chip)should be out next month...I think once the shipping and stock resumes,
the price should come down. I can say that Linksys WRT610N is a POS.

I did look at it but even though it is dual band it operates only on or the 

Other, not at the same time. And you have to manually select which band. A 

Dual band that I considered was the DIR-855 and while it seemed fantastic I 

Am not sure it is worth the cost. It is almost three times as expensive as 

The DIR-655. Is the performance and feature set worth the additional 

Cost?
