Now I know why this is a 16x customer choice award winner! I replaced my Trendnet TEW-432BRP router with this one and noticed a significant performance increase (30% download) plus it solved the DHCP IP-address assignment issues I was having (both wired and wirelessly). I was beginning to think something was wrong with my PCs but it was just the PoC router (you get what you pay for, generally speaking). This is the only production Linksys model that will accept third-party Linux firmware. I went with Tomato (vs. DD-WRT) and couldn't be happier. I like the rugged case design/construction and the separate transmit and receive antennas. I'm thinking of buying two more (to put into stock for my PC business) even though 802.11n (draft/preliminary) routers are now available.
