I guess you are right. Only difference with 500g casing seems to be the labeling "Afterburner Throughput Enhancement" and to me it seems that just this label makes a strange angle to the surface it should be printed on.

I agree a bit, but '54Mbps Wireless Router' is not printed on my router :confused:

According to the spec (see scan above), it had a parallel port. No trace of it here. So spec wrong or is this another device?
