I picked up 3 of these to use for my home network, due to the lack of being wired that is. Setup them up with dd-wrt & using them as wireless access points for my dvr's, ps3, nas, slingbox, etc... Yes I'm a nut... The price has increased since I purchased, wireless N access points are hard to deny, still cheaper then gaming adapter (that is after you learn how to use dd-wrt). I'm still skeptical about the dual band N routers, the 5GHz band does not penetrate walls as well as the 2.4GHz band, though the 2.4GHz is much more crowded. Anyways, they've (yes all 3 I purchased) have been working great for over a month now.

I am the average user. I've had 4 or 5 different wireless models and was excited when the wireless N came out. I did have trouble setting up this model on my own but all I did was call the 1-800 number on the back and they walked me right through the steps and the modem worked perfect!!! It has pretty good range covering my entire house of 2,200sq ft. I can even go outside and use it with no problem. My biggest problem that I've had is resetting the modem. I have to do it at least once a week for some reason. It's no big deal unplugging it for 10 secs and then plug it back in and it works fine but I don't like it that it happens so frequent. I wouldn't advise against this router but like with most things it has it's glitches.
