"Not for the newbie" By manilaman
Pros: I've owned a couple of wired and a wireless routers, but this one has got to be the best one yet. Signal strength is exceptional, its got a wireless print server, the upgraded bios with its Dr. Surf is a dream and its relatively inexpensive to boot.
Cons: The manual is totally confusing, insufficient, and in some instances seems like it is meant for a different product. Unless you download the upgraded bios, install, and reboot the unit the installation of this unit is not for the inexperienced user.
Summary: I truly love this product, I just wish that it had come with a better manual that explains the fact that you first have to upgrade the bios and how this is done. Otherwise I'm looking forward to a long and fruitful surf affair with this router.
