This router has been in use for some time as I like to put things through the rigors of everyday usage before giving it a stamp of approval.
I must say this has met my needs in every way. It is feature packed, not necessarily for your regular home user but geared to someone with some exposure to netwrking, and looking for a home, or small branch office router. It was billed as a branch office router on 3Com when I did my research.
This was purchased to replace other brands of home routers that could not keep up with the amount of data I would move across it. Those other routers and eight port switches died a fast death which became somewhat wasteful.
After those deaths I was intent on purchasing a Cisco router, but remembered how my 3Com switch just merrily did its job. Of course not being a popular brand anymore, it can be difficult to locate a vendor I trust.
This router is connected to a 3Com 8 port gigabit (OfficeConnect) switch, and just works beautifully for external connection with high bandwidth, and throughput remains constant.
On the LAN the OfficeConnect also moves large amounts of data at an efficient and constant rate.
3Com lives up to its heritage although it is not a popular brand like some of the others. Hopefully HP can keep it alive.
I use the wireless now and then to connect my laptop, but for the most part it is turned off when not in use. The connection is very stable and reliable, as one can expect.
