nartac Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 I have decided to get a SMC 7-port router but I noticed there are two different models: 7008BR and 7008ABR. Anyone know what is the difference between the two and which would you recommend. Your opinion is appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zivan56 Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 The BR is an older version, however most people on the smc forum say that it is better than the abr, but it will not be updated anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zivan56 Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 btw, the BR has a 16bit processor and the ABR has a 32 bit processor, each have a different os. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nartac Posted June 1, 2002 Author Share Posted June 1, 2002 hmmmm.....So it sounds like the ABR is a more advanced version of BR but I wonder why people have more problem with the ABR as you stated, zivan56. I wonder if it is the firmware problem which can be corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
