Well, I have no idea what the conversion from British Pounds to US 
dollars would be.  I assume you are correct.  I was thinking it was the 
other way around tho.  That said, since he wants something more than a 
LinkSys router, it's going to cost something.  Me, I got me a $10.00 
refurbed LinkSys and called it a day.  Thing is, I don't need anything 
fast or expensive.  I did want something that was cheap on power tho.  
Trying to cut back a bit on the old watt meter.  I already got two 
freezers running here.  One could build a bare bones rig and just use 
that.  I'm not sure it would be much cheaper tho.  May use more power 
from the wall too.  That is why I picked the fanless version.  I figured 
if it needed no fans, it can't pull to much power.  It also seemed to 
have lots of CPU speed for a router.

$400.00 for a router . . . that better be one HECK of a router.  Maybe 
wash dishes or something too.  o_O
