"Good, cheap home wireless router"
Pros: Supports every client
Cons: Assigns DHCP addresses out of scope
Summary: I've had the MN-700 for ages and have had no problems with it. I have it in full router mode acting as a firewall and DHCP.
I have 4 wired clients (two connected through a switch) and 5 wireless clients all with no issues. At times, I've had an iPhone, Treo 750, Dell Axim, MacBook, PowerBook, Ubuntu, Fedora, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Xbox 360, a Netgear switch, a network printer, a NetGear print server, and a DirecTV HR-20 connected.
The admin interface always loads like a snap for me and it is not nearly as confusing as Linksys or Netgear routers.
The MSFT routers run Windows CE instead of Linux.
The only problem I've ever had after 3 years, is that the router is supposed to assign DHCP addresses in the range of 192.168.2.30 to .80, but it will assign IPs outside of that range. So far none of my static addresses have been taken over but I need to watch for a fix to this one.
