Had I not seen so many negative reviews about this router recently, I would not write this review. But for some reason there are plenty of them posted on this site, so this is my $.02 worth.This is a great product from the small details such as instructions, packing, and design to the router itself.Before this, I had a CompUSA 802.11g router that died after three months of less than flawless service. Back then, I thought this was bad, but after my next one, a Linksys, went down during its first week, I recognized that three months is a quite decent life span for this wireless technology, though `wireless' is not really an accurate description as my Dell notebook was not able to connect with either the CompUSA nor the Linksys router.The pre N router worked just fine from the start, and now that my notebook's finally gone wireless, I've gone crazy from happiness.
