We've installed three (3) of these devices recently and had great success every time. The installation is automatic with a typical home/small business DSL or cable connection. And the instructions to access it via a connected PC's browser to implement additional settings (e.g. especially to implement security) are printed right on the back!
This unit is being sold with various PCs at Dell for $99 which is just below our cost via normal channels of distribution. It features a fast Wireless-N connection, while also supporting a second signal (e.g. 'dual band' or more traditional Wireless A-G'). Also included are wireless security and other typical router capabilities (e.g. DHCP, NAT and more, [See our guide titled: 'Hubs, Switches, Routers - What's the difference?' for definitions of these terms]).
Finally the unit provides one (1) WAN and four (4) switched ports making it a great fit for a small group of up to four hard-wired PCs, as well as one or more wireless PCs. This alloww us to create local area network of connected devices and permits sharing Internet access, files, printers, etc.

In comparative reviews this unit was faulted for a performance drop at longer distances, a 'too-simplified' install wizard and the lack of Gigabit Ethernet connections.
