Bought one. Excellent router. Running both the server and the Beast off it, wired, CAT 6.
Consistent 70Mbps down, 4-8Mbps up. 120 Mbps top bursts. The laptop with the N adapter just ran 52 mbps, and 8mbps upload, sitting on top of the other computer, in the living room. So, a better adapter for the HTPC should give me plenty of speed. Top rated USB 2 adapter from newegg is 25 bucks.
The G adapter in the HTPC is giving me 12-18 Mbps, and about 8Mbps uploads.
This compared to:
old Linksys 54G as the router, and connected both computers to that, along with the HTPC by wireless.
Getting 48Mbps on the beast, about 30 on the server, and 12-14 on the wireless.
Install was easy. CD in the computer allowed me to change the name and password on setup. Worked right away.
Good deal, fast router.
