  • Cons: It's expensive, and few devices take advantage of it's best features. USB connection is USB 2.0, instead of 3.0. Died after 6 months of use and have to RMA it.

  • Pros: I was THRILLED to get this, I've spent over a month with it. I’ve always been mocking my friends and their expensive, spotty wireless G and N networks compared to my s...
  • Cons: It's a WAY lower than even USB 2.0's max bandwidth. Less than half, so it's not just being limited by USB2.0. Something else is going on here. I verified this with Net...

Garrock, Newegg
30 October 2012
  • Summary: -the other con is that there are no indicator lights to indicate what ports are on and if they are active.
  • Pros: Lots of features and easy to use interface. Usb Ready share port is a great way to share files across the network. Having both wired and wireless devices across your n...
  • Cons: I swapped this for a Netgear N900 that I bought new but the ethernet ports died in 2 weeks. I went a little overboard buying this one but was sure it would be fast and...

  • Cons: Adding only a few devices and playing an MMO and doing some HD streaming, the device seems to buckle/slow down badly. Add more devices to do minimal tasks makes it tha...
