Well I did get mine, as I thought the store had 2 in stock and I grabbed one. I was able to do the on line order / in store pickup this morning.
The unit was a little strange to set up for me, I've been using a 5 year old SMC Barricade wireless, knew the settings there inside and out. Stumbled my way through changing the address ( my zippered TiVo has it's address permanently set...) and Changed and hid the SSID.
So, what should I know about other firmware? Is it something a non-power user needs to consider?

With DD-WRT used for the firmware how much can you extedn the range? I know on the old WRT54G Linksys you could turn up the power from 28mw to over 200mw and I was looking to enxtend the range for cheap if possible.
Thanks

I liked DD-WRT over Tomato on my G54S. To be honest - the Buffalo w/out DD-WRT was a total POS...signal kept dropping out, etc. Amazing how much of a difference DD made.

Is the rebate applicable to in store purchase? The site won't show any results for in store pickup...

With the third DD-WRT you can turn it up to 200mw, but from what I understand you should only go up to 84mw, and anything more may cause damage.
