You and me both...

From what i am beginning to see, EU users i have spoken with say they don't even have the E~ series linksys in their countries...This being said you could possibly have a long wait.

They'll appear in Europe eventually when Cisco has cleared their old stock.

So does this convert the router to simultaneous dual band n? or do you still have to choose between 2.4 and 5 GHz?

Still have to choose 2.4 or 5, this unit does not have dual radios.

So what's the point? why does it matter if it says E2000 on the router info page instead of WRT320N? Why not just load firmware onto the stock WRT320N?

With the E2000 you have more NVRAM space. Also what is the point of comments like this? If you don't want to do it and see no point in this, then this post does not concern you.

Hey buddee, can you go over what more NVRAM space would mean...better performance? Bigger Builds available?

Respectfully asked and thanks!

No probs fallout~

It would be good if you ran like say big firewall scripts that eat up some NVRAM space, and really to be honest, since i did this, the router itself seems to run smoother.

Not sure if its the process of expanding the NVRAM or just the newer dd-wrt builds or what. If you don't use this (big scripts etc) though, im not certain that you would need this.

Edit: also it does not add bigger builds, as the wrt320n already has an 8Mb flash, so it can already run the biggest build.

Probably a little more than what I would need for the moment. Good to know the option is there if needed. Thanks for the reply!

don't forget Linksys fixed the reset button in the cfe. The reset button now works. Also, your router is running better / smoother cuz I am sure linksys also fixed some cfe bugs in the 320 when they changed them to 2000's.

Have just completed this mod and there's definitely some speed improvements on the download stream - so thanks!

I just wanted to add that I ignored the country field and the router works just fine so do try at your own risk Smile

Excellent, i am guessing you are in EU? If so, are all the channels available for you still?
