So, I have owned this product for 2 months, and in those two months, the wireless has regularly cut out for no reason for about 4 to 6 seconds every 5 minutes or so. This is enough of a timeout to cause ssh sessions to die and streaming video to halt. So, I updated the firmware, changed the broadcast channel, altered the encryption. None of that solved anything. I tested the product on the floor 3 inches from my laptop...same problem. I called linksys support, and they told me to raise it up a foot...why the wireless can't reach 3 inches, I don't know, but I did it, on a stack of books. Problem persisted. The tech support representative had no other useful information, telling me it was probably something environmental. I highly doubt this to be the case, since I see this problem is quite frequent. If you plan to use wireless, I truly can't recommend this product.
