I jumped on this router during the "cyber monday" deals in order to upgrade from a "G" router.. my criticism resides in comparison with my 5yr old LinkSys WRT54GS2 and its comparative coverage as well as difficulty getting me/my wife smart phones to link to it's WiFi signal - it says it's linked but the web/streams just won't work. The only positive I can give it so far is our laptop shows 50+ mb/sec., but if I can't get our phones to work I will have no choice but to go back to the LinkSys for now and possibly return this one.. disappointed. I had planned to dd-wrt the old one and use it as a wirless adapter for my plasma/BlueRay.. obviously that is on hold.From my experience the old adage applies here, too good to be true :(Edit; got the phone issue fixed and has served us well for months w/ no problems - changed the rating to 4 stars to reflect this..
