This is the way that hardware should work:

I'm very happy with this device. Solved lot of problems generated by a d-link 655 that is now out of use.
I purchased a second one to increase the coverage in my property.
The installation can't be more easy. It's different from all routers out there, but it's very, very easy.

Great features, great performance, easy setup:

Easy to set up, not intrusive, feature-set comparable (in some cases, better) than most stock firmwares from the likes of linksys, etc. I do wish there was an option to trigger WOL over the LAN but, aside from that, unit is sitting nicely in our media closet with our printer attached and shared over the network. Performance over cat 5e is excellent.

Don't waste your money if you are running intel Macs and Leopard 10.5 up:

Piece of Cr-Apple!:

OK, so I bought the extreme because the wife was experiencing very slow download speeds with the Linksys wireless router and Apple promised lightning fast speed/downloads. The extreme delivers when it works, no doubt. I own a Macbook Pro and the set up was easy. I experienced similar problems with the wireless network randomly dropping. I would wake up in the morning and it would be off, so I would replug it and it would work for an unknown period of time before it dropped again. I returned it twice to the... more info
