Not to mention the support and the channel the product takes to reach the customer. Upgrades and development of firmware costs money!. Go buy an RG-1000 and open it up . 486-sec, Lucent Winmodem, RealTek Ethernet chipset. 8mb Flash memory. Infact we installed BSD on one the other day and have it running a Linux router. We can even take the 11mb Silver card our and run a Cisco in it :) . Development costs money , Support costs money .

You're presumably paying for what the box can do, not a simple summation of the cost of its components. If what the box can do does not justify the price, don't buy it. This is not rocket science.
