While their user interface has improved over the years, there are still some things I'd like it to have that it doesn't, and it's not as pretty as, say, Netgear'. But from an operational perspective, I've got a couple dozen of these out as edge routers for client sites behind DSL and RoadRunner, and they Just Work. Easy install and config, gets the job done, never been attacked successfully from outside (so far as I know :-), and I have to reboot one roughly once a year, if that. Nice boxes, not too pricey. I'd shortlist them. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
