The one I nabbed for $89 last night was a C1 hardware revision that's not compatible with third party firmwares, so it's going back.

I just checked Tomato last night. I'm not even sure if any of the custom firmwares are capable of this, sine I haven't been into them since dd-wrt back in the G days (been on Airports since then), but my parents are moving to a place with satellite internet (50gbs/mo) and Verizon unlimited hotspot... So my thought was, I need a router that can artificially limit the internet speed to streaming devices, like their Roku, and then tune it to just grab the most basic 720p stream. Heck, iPads too. I can limit YouTube to 480p with an extension.

would adding this to the Uverse router give me any better wifi ? I feel like Uverse limits my 300 service

I just picked one up for $51 after tax at the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Glen Burnie, MD on Chesapeake. There is 1 more. The sticker on the shelf shows $139 but it thankfully rang up as $49. The CSR looked confused.
