First I have no wide knowledge of routers. I only know some.
But I can tell you what I think while reading the data sheet.
Perhaps it helps, perhpas it is a 2nd sheet. Spell it the other way.
4 Lan ports should be enough, or do you know otherwise.
For example for me are 4 ports to few. But I can't buy another...
WebInterface, so you do not *have* to install some software.
That
"Quality-of-Service gives
priority to real-time, delay sensitive applications like
Voice-over-IP and video-on-demand to improve the user
experience."
sounds to me like: give some type of connection prority.
That would be really cool. I'd like to have it.
I do not know if I understand it correct.
WPA for wireless is good, because WEP has been broken.
DHCP server and NAT are a must have.
UPNP is bad. For me. So it should be possible to disable it.
(it allows any application on the inside to open ports on the router)
In the requirements are browsers from different OSes listed.
That is good. So you are not left with a router which *needs* IE.
Some things are ok.
A lot of things mean nothing to me.
I'd *like* to have that think to try the unknown things out. :-)
Cu,
A.
