All of you with your shitty WRT45G's don't really notice since you're a foreveralone neckbeard, but at my place with the four people living here, with up to three desktops, three laptops, four smartphones, a printer, a media server, two xboxes, and a PS3 all hooked up to one wireless router (some wired into it, most wirelessly), that shitty underpowered router would choke with proper encryption without overclocking.
Not that I overclock my router, but I'd have to if I still had a WRT45G. I simply bought a more powerful router.
