      Very good wired router

    I've had one of these routers running for a couple of years now and they are super. Firewall is v-e-r-y good and if you stealth one port it's invisible to the internet stealth tests. I used mine with 6 computers and a print server with sharing throughout. Every computer could access the net independently of any other, could read and write to and from any other computer/drive I had shared, (and I had shared them all), and all could print to the printer without having to go through a server or other computer. So it gave me complete connectivity for everything, everywhere. (BTW, I also had a wireless router set up as a Wireless Access Point and plugged it into one of the ports. Two wireless computers could do everything the same through that one connection, albeit slower being wireless and sharing a port. Connected the WAN port from the wireless router to port 7 on this router.)
    All in all it's a super performer and met every expectation and requirement I had for it.

      Not really the fastest out there
    Review created: 05/29/08

    First off, the unit I purchased is v2 not v3. Price is right for a backup unit. Speed is slower than the previous routing devices I have used. And the port forwarding and QoS options are more limited. But if you just need a 8 port router for web use, it's a OK unit at a cheap price. Purchase a newer router if you need performance for VoIP or xbox gaming. This unit is not it!

    Used to run a small mortgage company and used this router to connect entire sysytem through a cat5 board. My cable internet went directly into the router and the ethernet cables from the router into the cat5 board. I ran a printer, fax, 3 computers, and 3 voip phones with the router. worked great.

    Had this router for about 6 weeks now and it's working fine. The only cons to this router is that it's a little dificult to setup. The setup disk that comes with it is useless! It took a couple of hours to get it up and running but since then has been perfect. I would recommend it to anyone that needs a router with more than 4 ports. (this one has 8)

    Easy to install and run. Everything works fine for high-speed cable. I bought it used, but works like new. I would buy it again.
