I've been using a ZyXel P-330W for ?: a couple of years or so.
I recently got a freebie Linksys BEFW11S4 that I plan to use in our second
home this Summer.
I tried comparing the specs and didn't see any difference, but I don't
understand the real geeky stuff.
Is there any real difference between these two routers?

Have you looked at the specs on their web sites?

It's a piece of shit, get rid of it. That and it's only 802.11b, the much
slower data rate.
