rbk40 vs rbk20
Already decided to purchase a kit RBK40+satelite, when I was trying to buy through Amazon I noticed that was a new model called RBK20 (on the amazon appeared as "new model"). Then I search on Netgear website and I found it, but without clear differences. The only remarcabable difference is, a part of the phisical dimensions and weight , the number of LAN ports and the flash and RAM memory. RBK20 have less LAN ports and less flash and RAM,.........but may be both parameters are linked..... sounds rasonable that a systems with less LAN ports need less RAM. But I router with only 512Mb RAM sounds not enough....
LAN ports are really not important in my case, but can someone knows if there is other differences more related to performance or speed.
Thanks a lot.
Ricard

Seem very similar.
How big is your home sq ft?
I would try the 40 kit first.

Thanks a lot.
Yes I believe they are very similar. My home is less than 4000 sq ft, two floors. So both systems fits.
The only thing that bothers me is Netgear have two products on portfolio for the same coverage.............
