4.0 out of 5 stars Please update firmware to DD-WRT, November 11, 2009

A rock solid router after firmware is updated to DD-WRT and hence the 4-star. It is basically unusable with the stock firmware, especially with Comcast, where it could not find the DHCP server most of the time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Powerful for a Home Router, October 6, 2009

Can be used as a router or a simple access point it has a switch for operation mode.
You can tweak almost everything in this router, it has a lot of options. I don't know for sure but seems you can install DD-WRT (Linux Based Firmware). I'm happy with it, as i have total control over the settings.
Be adviced, at the first time connection, you just have to wait at least 5 minutes to be able to use Internet (if it is connected to a DSL modem or Cable Modem), as it seems that it has to setup everything.
One thing to note, is that the cable provided with the router is only for the PC that will setup the router (don't know if it is crossover or rollover, haven't checked, but i had trouble when connecting it to the modem).

A little harder to set up and I had to update firmware to work properly.Once I did this and used the long encryption key It has worked flawlessly.
It has a stronger signal strength and further range than other routersI have used.
