This is a descent router, bought it for my daughter to use in her apartment while in grad-school. The firmware that comes with it is not that great. So, I installed OpenWRT firmware and the router is more reliable and has a lot more options in the settings.

Works great. I tried this after my $100 router died. I definitely would choose this over any other one. It might be less expensive but it works wonderful. We have 2 laptops, 2 iPads and 4 iPhones that run off this and the connection is great.

I have purchased about 4 of these units over as many years and this last one (#5) was 'to keep in stock' for when need arises. As a part-time computer consultant I'm often called to help resolve network computer issues or setup home/small business Wi-Fi access points.

So, I've been using this router for like 8 months now and haven't changed the antennas, still the speed is just the same. If you're looking for a good router within your budget, I'll say go for it.

Though I had to attempt several times to get it auto-configured, but once done, it works great. I am impressed with the product and its price.

The router was easy to install. My tower computer was two rooms away and picked up the signal. It was very easy to configure the router to my hp computer. The download speed did increase from 7 mbps (the old Netgear router) to 18 mbps, but we get 70 mbps at the modem, so I had hoped for more...

I bought this after reading all the positive reviews, but could it be that easy? As I've had lots of problems with router setups in the past. I shouldn't have worried as this thing was up and running in minutes! Following the instructions and setup wizard, it was all good to go.

DD_WRT install was straight forward; look elsewhere if you want openVPN installed without hassle

Doesn't support OpenVPN in DD_WRT as it only has 4MB flash, however can be installed with a modified version of OpenWRT with Luci that installs it each time the router reboots; OpenVPN speeds of about 10Mb/s are achieved

I purchased this wireless router to utilize simply as a wireless access point for a Client who has a wireless dead-spot in his home. The router configuration was standard, with no unexpected or confusing menus, and has resolved my Client's issue perfectly.

Software does not support vlan tagging which is necessary for some fibre providers.
