"Dies after about a year."
Pros: Great features and printer access for my parallel port NEC printer. Set-up and Mac fitering easy to use.
Cons: Dies after abou 1 year. As others mentioned below, I suspect heat problem with board design. Wireless range is only fair.
Summary: I have gone through 3 of these units so far. The first was a warantee replacement. The other was because I could not find a wireless router with parallel printer support anywhere in this price range. For the price I paid it was worth a shot. This last one worked fine for about 1+ year. But I was carefull to lay it down at an angle to allow air to flow through the small holes in the side of the case. One corner of these units seems to get very HOT. Two days ago I was re-aranging my set up and made the fatal mistake of re-positioning the unit and laid it flat. It died shortly after. I have seen these red & green lights before and went through all of the procedures I had gone through before with Tech support when my first one died. It's gone. All three died the same way.
