SRT works automatically, so don't worry about it. Once you set the cache, nothing is 'wasted'

So I bought a Logitech K400 wireless keyboard/touch pad, since my wireless mouse died, and it can put my laptop to sleep and wake it up as well! sweet

Posted via RS Mobile | It is, just wait for the tech to mature a bit. I'm still worried about the 5GHz signal ranges, they degrade quite a bit through walls/distance.
The RT-N56u's definitely a great router to go with, given that you can bear with it not having any 3rd party firmware, and the fact that it runs hot even with proper positioning.

Also, am I nuts for wanting a HP Envy 14 Spectre? I know it's hardware is one generation old but it still one of the best looking laptops out there.
