This is awesome and easy to set up. I am not a computer genius and still no problems. I am sure that you will find it worth while and now am even using wireless printing and networking with this thing. Seriously, you won't be disappointed!

This router was easy to set up and works great; it doesn't give me any problems, and I have strong signal all over the house.

I'm not sure this is a valid critique of this specific router, because it's the first and only wireless router I've ever owned. Perhaps all routers suffer from the same problem, I just don't know. What I can say however, is that I'm a little disappointed in it's lack of range. It does say in the instruction manual that intervening walls in a home will reduce the effective range of the router and I have mine in a back bedroom where my desktop computer is, where the cable companies cable enters the house. That's where the cable modem is so it's the logical place for the router. However, when I use my laptop in the dining room, approximately 40 feet away, with two intervening walls, I can only get two bars of signal strength. There is another wireless router at a resort complex five miles away and I can get one bar for that router. I would hasten to add that I am still able to surf the web, etc. with only two bars of signal strength, but it just seems to me that the performance should be a little better. I haven't tried going out on the patio, where there would be four intervening walls, but my hopes are not high!
