importance of multipoint routing? Please, those who know, how does the 265WT handle multi-destination trips?

The usefulness of multi-point routing varies from one person to another. Anyone that has daily routes and schedules, this would obviously be a great help. However, for those units that don't have this feature, there is a way to get by. All Garmin units allow for one "waypoint" to be added. Some people add a waypoint somewhere along their travel route, and once reached, add another waypoint, and so on. Hardly elegant, but this hopscotch method gets the job done.

Does the 1450 have the option of setting up multiple routes at one time? Which other Garmin has this optionThanks

The SE2800 is an unmanaged switch and does not support combining multiple links (Link-Aggregation) which you can do in more advanced (managed) switches. Here are some Linksys managed switches that you might want to check: http://www.linksys.com/en-us/business/products/switches

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately I have already returned the DIR 655. Secure Spot....Hmmmm. Not quite sure what that is. Unfortunate that when I contacted D-Link about the problem that they did not mention this. Seems odd that the router would work with all of the computers on the wireless network, but would not work with the BD 390. Oh well, guess I will purchase another router and try again.Thanks again

I have received the router and it is the v3 so I'd say they have exhausted all of the v2 stock that they had. Thanks for the input though. My problem now is that with two repeaters, my web speeds have really dropped. I am already preparing to return my router and buy a 24 port switch and start hard wiring the house. Another fun project...

I personally wouldn't buy a GPS without multi-point routing. I am a casual driver (not business) and we use the multi-point function all the time - best for plotting a day's worth of traveling in the most efficient way.

Sorry but I cant help you... I only use it with one device and Ive never tried multipoint :-(

I can't give you a definite answer as I have never tried to use the one I have with seven devices but I can tell you what I do know about it. First it depends on whether you mean hard-wired or wirelessly. It only has four wired ports so from that point of view it can only handle four devices. But as a wireless router, although I don't really know what the limit is I don't see why it couldn't handle many devices at once. For example it could assign more than 250 IP addresses on a sub net. E.g. 192.168.2.xxx where xxx could be from 2 to 254 (reserving 1 for the router itself. These could be either manually entered or DHCP could be used. Although with that many devices things might be rather slow. As I say, I've never had that many on at one time, but I have had four with no problems. I hope this answer is some help.

Has anyone used this device on an Adventure Cycling cross country tour? And how useful are the AC way point info. Tnx, Jack

Yes, it also support multi-homing BGP. Each port can be independently configured and will accept as many WANs as you want.

How are these waypoints added. I tried doing it on my 265WT and couldn't figure it out. I may have to pull up the online manual and see if it adresses this issue.

I am in the exact same situation, I am debating which GPS to return. 255WT or 285WT?285WT is actually cheaper too, since I didn't have to pay any tax buying from amazon.sigh... I should have just shelled out a little bit more for the 265WT from Radio shack.The bluetooth on the 285WT seems nice to have, but is the lifetime traffic on the 255WT any good, and is it more worthy than the bluetooth? I never followed the traffic information from my Navigion 2100T, since I am not sure how useful it is.

A year later... (Nov. 2010) the 1490 model has multi-point routing, which I think is very useful especialy if you want to customize your own route, e.g., you want to go from A to A' to A'' and then to B.

Joe, I have the triton 3 hp router in my Kreg table and really like it. All adjustments can be done from above table, plenty of power, soft start. I've read some complaints about safety on/off switch but I think it's a good feature.

Yes. There are few places that explain this configuration. It is important to know that terminology used by Mikrotik is "PCC" (per connection control) and "Nth Load Balancing." There are links to a few types of load balancing on this Mikrotik Wiki page; http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:PCC Another type of load balancing is based on type of traffic, explained here; http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Per-Traffic_Load_Balancing There's also a good discussion with other links to more ideas here; http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=67699

There was perhaps one rev. of the 1700 that, after a certain s/w update, would not do multiple destinations. If the unit is restored to factory defaults, and then flashed to the latest s/w update, it will work as designed, allowing multiple destination routes.

I purchased the 8 port version of the model and I do link aggregation. I think that 26 port model will allow you to do that too. You can validate by downloading the user manual and look for link aggregation steps.
