Someone may come up with a quicker answer, but otherwise I will enquire later today when I get home from work, about 7 hours from now.
I was on the beta test for that router and have it set up as an AP right now (works perfectly well as a router also). My ISP is Virgin Media so the very impressive wireless throughput that the R8500 provides is very welcome.
Use with a compatible Link Aggregation NAS is also very impressive with transfer rates at the full gigabit rate over my very busy LAN, easily hitting a sustained 100Mbytes / second.
