Jury still out on this great value

I have been using this for about a month now. I seem to have to reboot every couple of days. I have this connected to two cable modems and then a wireless access point. All the devices in the network are wireless. I have anywhere from 2 to 5 to 11 15 devices on the network at any given time. We do a lot of streaming (video and audio) as well as data transfer, remote administration and online gaming. Buffering is really at a min. since going this route. This router has some very nice features such as support for dynamic dhcp for those of us without a fixed ip.

Not the best I've seen, but can't beat the price!

some configuration needed. also need to make sure you have the latest firmware (one the easier things to do). One of my connections is not strong so it tends to slow down the load balancing. I like to use my gigabit Wireless router as the DHCP, but for some reason it will not configure properly with the LB Router behind it. But for the price it isn't bad.

Cannot Argue with this one

Took me a few minutes to set it up but then again, I would be worried if it did not. All in all, this is a great value and was relatively easy to setup. Others, with the same features, are far more costly.

Not plug and play

Excellent router but set up was a stinker. Technical support answers the phone promptly and is knowledgeable but barely speaks english. And I must have gone through three or four of them over half-a-dozen phone calls. After 2 days of work they finally realized that my firmware was about 2 versions out of date. Non US powercable in box. Annoying but I always have a few extra. Overall: Good, well-built, product with labor-intensive set-up.
