"Great range and speed, but other issues to consider"
3.0 starson by mwindelerPros: Easily a 50% increase in range over my DLINK G
Cons: No web interface, VPN troubles
Summary: Range and speed are simply awesome with this router. However, two very troubling issues have soured my opinion of this routing. FIrst, there is no web interface to the router - I don't like that I have to install software on any machines that I want to be able to access the router from. Sorry to all the "apple can do no wrong" folks - but nothing beats the simplicity of a web browser to get to settings. The apple utility is slow and often confusing to navigate. Second, at this time (3/23/07) there are massive problems with VPN support. If you run any of the popular VPN clients, it most likely wont work due to a bug. The only solution supported right now is putting your PC into a DMZ - not a great solution. I'm sure I'll get used to the utility someday and Apple will fix the VPN issues - then I'll rate this a 9.5. Until then, 6.
