Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Internet Strength and Distance. Combined no router can stop it

Weaknesses: NONE Pay attension to the install directions and you should be good at the most 20 mins.

Overall Evaluation: This Router is great for Large homes and Busniesses. It is the best router you can aquire for busniesses. HOOK up to 100 Laptops or Desktops wireless on one single High speed signal. I KNOW 100% that you wont noticed that the internet connection slows down or changes. I have used this item for a while. And the DISTANCE IS THE BEST. Amer

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Signal Range

Weaknesses: VoiP, SPI Firewall

Overall Evaluation: My experience is that GENERALLY speaking, the router works with my cable internet connection. The interface is relatively easy to use.My MAJOR beef is that VoiP does NOT WORK. This is a KNOWN problem (and if you search for it on various forums, for at least 1 year!).What happens is that the SPI firewall detects the VoiP calls (I have vonage) detects them as "UDP Floods" and drops the UDP frames, resulting in very choppy voice calls, both for me, and the callee.After doinking with tech support for a couple of weeks, realized they were just jerking me around. I really got aggravated when one of the last emails I got from them was to "erase cookies, clear your internet cache" - what the HECK does clearing my browser cookies have to do with VoiP using my external Vonage box? IDIOTS.The ONLY solution is to disable the SPI firewall - leaving you "nearly" naked except to the NAT firewall - no acceptable to me so I returned it. My Linksys WRT54G never had this problem.
