The router is superb in terms of hardware, but the default firmware lets it down. I replaced the built-in firmware with OpenWRT and it has been superb since.

I use this router to connect to cable broadband via a modem. With the default settings it would reduce my download speed from about 9.5Mbps to about 3Mbps. After a bit of research I found this to be a common problem and the only solution that worked for me is to disable Upnp in the Administration / management page of the router (http://192.168.1.1/Management.asp). This is not an ideal solution but so far I have not had any problems even though I have a Samsung TV, Bluray player, Linksys PAP2T VOIP box all connected by ethernet cables plus 2 laptops and 1 desktop connected wirelessly.
The default settings for wireless channel width is set to 20mhz so to get full wireless speed you need to set this to either Auto or 40mhz in the basic wireless settings page under manual wireless configuration.
I have plugged an 8gb memory stick into the rear usb port which works quite well as network storage and as a media server for the TV although the write speeds are quite slow.
A couple of nice features of this router are QOS for giving my VOIP phone high priority and DHCP reservation for assigning the same IP address to a MAC address of a gaming PC so that I can set up port forwarding.
For the price and functionality I would have still bought this router even if I had known what I know now.

I find the best way to advertise this router is if you are a "tekkie" and want to fiddle around a lot then this is the router for you but if your just an average user who wants it to work and couldn't care about network locations, maybe most the features are missed on you and would confuse more than help.
I see alot of reviews from people claiming they are having problems but in my experience its all fixed with an afternoon of tweaking and a little patience.
Long story short, if your the type of person who installs a router by first throwing away the disk that came with it then this is for you.

This router stinks. It needs to be reset daily as your bandwidth drops regularly. A quick search online will reveal other users with similar issues.
