The configuration interface is the best I've seen on any router. HTML based configuration in an instant, no long drawn out condescending play school graphics interface like other (more popular) routers. Works with cross over or straight cabling - again unlike others routers. No problems running full load 4 connections networked at 100mbs via it all with net access at full speed low ping (under 16ms usually). Sometimes needs reset about once a week, but can be cooled with heatsinks to run for months maitenance free. Tech support also very helpful and speak in very plain logical language and have total knowledge of what they're saying - not just reading off a script like big stupid companies.
