Better Than My Netgear
Pros: Very Stable Router
Cons: Very Daunting Set-Up- Client Manager Useless
Better to email. Called twice to phone support and seemed like I was annoying them. Couldnt rush me off the phone fast enough. Use e-mail or web.

Awesome router at an even better price!
Pros: I got it for $30. Strong signal throughout my house which is very big. very, very easy set up, 4 ports on the back for local machines.
Cons: None so far
I disconnected my Lynksys router and plugged this one in its place and it worked instantly! I had to go through a very easy set up menu to adjust some security settings, but this isn?t necessary because I had an internet connection right away.
I have to admit I have not attempted to download and large files to truly test the speed, but the internet connection was just as fast as my hard wired PC on the other end of my big house, as well as in my basement which was a shock to me.
I would have given it a 10 but because I have not tested it fully as far as download speeds are concerned, I give it a solid 9! I am currently in my junior year for Network Admin so I think my opinion is very reliable.

Nice wireless router for those who are looking for a reliable ones
Pros: Nice looks , compact , bridge function ,....
Cons: Setup little complicated
all the three are almost equal in performance , however i could see a lot of reviews where many people are having problems with Dlink and linksys . Buffalo promises to be one of the best products in wireless. I didnt
notice any flaws in WHR-G54S Except for the setup , it could be little difficult for newbies ..
