"Works for the most part."
Pros: Easy setup, decently configurable.
Cons: Locks up whenever my cable router renews IP. Customer support is nonexistant.
Summary: Overall I have been pleased with the router, except that every time my cable modem renews my external IP, the router locks up. The only remedy for that was cycling the power. For $10 after rebate, I guess you can't expect it to be perfect.
I did come up with two workarounds for the power cycling.
1. If your connection drops and it locks up regularly (mine was about every 24 hours), you can put the router on a Christmas-light-type timer to auto-cycle power in the middle of the night.
2. If you're looking for a cheap switch, buy a crossover cable and sacrifice one of the wired ports to turn it into a $10 switch.
