[BC] The wrong way to deal with tech budgets

[Alex Hartman]

Completely different issues. Linksys routers can do QoS (look for gaming routers) just as well as the high end routers... It's not that the router isn't capable of handling 250 machines, it is, but it's a matter of bandwidth issues. You can only shove so much crap through the garden hose, as it were. :)
