Excellent Router, Outstanding Range
Pros:Excellent Range - even with existing Wireless G clientsGigabit ethernet portsNetwork Attached StorageVPN EndpointExcellent web interface with help along the right columnOur house is like a wireless black hole. We have tried multiple Wireless G routers and cannot get a strong signal throughout the house. If the router is in the center of the house, we usually get a 11 mbps connection from our Wireless G clients. If we put the router at one end of the house, we do not get a signal at the other corner. We don't live in a huge house by the way. With this router, we get a full strength signal through the house, regardless of whether it is placed in the center or in one corner. I assume it's due to high gain antennas plus the built-in power amplifier. The range of our Wireless-G network has been extended greatly without even having to upgrade our computers to Wireless-N adapters. Most Wireless-N routers transmit in the 100 mW range (e.g...

Excellent Router. DD-WRT Firmware in a few months!
I bought this router after considering EVERY other one on the market as of this review date regardless of price... Literally EVERY other router, from Linksys (610) to Netgear (3700) to D-link (855, 4500, 4300) to Belkin... I do NOT regret it for a second. Every other router seemed to have it's minuses and was more expensive than this one. After a small setup glitch with my comcast modem I've been up and running for weeks with a full signal everywhere in my 2-story house. I have the router in my basement and I still get a full signal on the opposite end of the house on the second floor. For (...) this was the best purchase I've made this year.On top of this with the newest (1.70) firmware everything seems to work very well and the news just keeps on getting better... Buffalo just announced last month that starting this summer all new firmware for all of their wireless routers will be based on the awesome DD-WRT firmware! This is an industry first that should not be...

It's the best, but you need to be ready to work for it.
The product description, and the other reviews here, say a lot.But most of them seem to be missing a few points, which I think will be useful to anyone who is thinking of buying it, or who has already bought it.Most people will be able to use the standard firmware just fine. It's not a problem. DD-WRT, in my experience, wasn't all that great, but was easy to install. Installing Gargoyle massively improved my experience with this router, over either the default firmware OR DD-WRT. Google it, and be prepared to do a lot of digging on their forums. It's worth it, if you're tech-savvy enough.For those complaining that you aren't getting any benefits over your old G router:1. Are you using Wireless N compatible cards in your computers and devices? If not, you won't get much of an improvement.2. Is the router set to WEP encryption? If so, the whole network will drop back to a weird version of Wireless G. Use WPA2-PSK, and you'll...
