I got one of these when Micro Center was blowing them out and have been very happy with it. I got it primarily to see if the wireless signal might be better using my laptops built in Centrino "b" receiver. That is a big "yes" to a very high quality signal!!!

When I saw the price at TD (as they are blowing out old stock) I wanted to pass the word to anyone wanting a quality deal...

Note: USR plans on further enhancing the software to increase the speed to 125Mbps.

I bought one of these. I'm very impressed but there are some things i didn't like about it.

First off, it's very feature rich. Which is a good/bad thing, but if anyone out there has no networking experience they'll be lost quickly. One thing that i didn't like about it is that they're not WPA ready yet. USR has been dragging their ass on a new firmware which is supposed to supposed WPA.

Additionally, they have MAC filtering, but if you apply it, it applies to wireless AND wired connections, which kind of sucks.

Overall, powerfull and fast router, just has a lot of bugs that needs to be worked out.
