I tend not to associate with "routing equipment". If something goes wrong it can get very "messy" and hard to resolve. There are a couple of good points to "routers" as well. You can have one "machine", in one place, and when your not in that place, there can be another "machine" where you are. This help alleveate some of the "frustrations" of not being able to get your "work load" done when at home. There are a lot of different people that believe having more than one "machine" is overkill. I personally think that it works very well for people that have many different needs to be able to use a "machine" with different "software" every once in a while.
