Just wondering what you think of the item as I may be buying one pretty soon. How is the performance of it? is it comparible to Linksys' wireless B and G brands? is it just as good? thanks.

generally, if you're paying full price then i recommend linksys for their compatibility with other manufacturers. this gigafast router is decent for $10 (i haven't received my MIR so it's $70) and performance is quite good with my low expectations. i have it set as a AP and rely on my linksys wired router as my base (because i download and require an uninterrupted land line).
if you're looking at Futureshop's USB Wifi G + Wireless G router combo, make sure you send in the MIR. would i pay full price for the combo? not when i can select linksys, us robotics, netgear, smc... my favourite being US Robotics for the same price. overall your gigafast combo is easy to install and you'll have everything up and running/tested in under 10mins.
good luck and keep us posted on your progress.
