I think this is a good product to convert your house or apartment to wireless. I had this for about a year and recently replaced it for a router that has better distance. I have a pretty big house and I used it in the basement and I had trouble staying on the internet on one of my desktop computers but my labtops had no problems while roaming the house. I recommend it but if you have a big house, I would recommend the newer ones with better distance. By the way, I have 3 stories which includes the basement and roughly 2800 square feet if that helps you. My desktop is located on the third floor

For the most part this has worked flawlessly. But sometimes it seems to get to a state where the wireless will just stop working (computers connect connect to the network) until the unit is power cycled. I haven't tracked down the root cause here, but it might be heat; I found it got very hot and in the summer this seemed more prevalent -- it would happen multiple times a day.

I plan to replace my unit with a Linksys WRT54G in the future.

This router works great. Haven't had to reset it or think about it since i installed it. Has good range for such a small router. In my opinion, most people that give bad reviews simply don't know how to configure their electronics.

When I first got this and couldn't get it to work because the set up wizard disk didn't work with mac. So I called the help line (India) and the guy told me to go next door and borrow a neighbor's pc! Seriously. So it sat in a box for months. Then one of my tech saavy friends came over and set it up. It took him about 30-40 minutes, typing in codes and trying and retrying. So it worked for a while, less than a year, and then just stopped.

I called the help line again. They said it should be working. NO kidding. Still can't get online with it.
