A lot of devices sold as broadband routers are really just ordinary router/NAT devices that still need to plug in to one of the aforementioned devices; for those I use "router". But I am sure a lot of older prints don't follow this rule strictly.
Interesting. I haven't been making that distinction in the service probes file. I have been considering any consumer router/NAT device designed for cable or DSL to be "broadband router" unless it has wireless capabilities, then it is a WAP. Like Fyodor suggested I will write up a short description of each of the categories and then we can revise them and make an official list. Doug
