Oh, it's certainly possible that the Amazon reviewers and Wikipedia  
reviewers are mistaken. I agree: if true, it's pretty stupid, but  
since when have companies who do things solely for cost-cutting  
measures (you know, save the 50-cent part to widen your profit margin)  
had to make sense? FWIW, I had a Netgear router whose antenna sure  
seemed to be hard-wired; I couldn't disconnect that thing for love nor  
money. Oh well, it was only a so-so router anyway. Whatever, I really  
like my Asus.
