    Strengths: Fast, easy setup, good help and documentation.

    Weaknesses:Trouble with NetGear WiFi card software.

    Overall Evaluation: This router will deliver, as promised, but you have to do your research and learning about it first. Do a firmware upgrade, but you must reset the router right after the upgrade is completed and this will put the settings back to default. I had to put my phone line DSL modem into bridge mode, so the router handles firewall and PPoE sign in duties.

It appears to clash with some software, that loads during bootup and gets corrupted. Re-install the software for the card and during the card setup choose Windows to configure your connection.
