Advantages: Cheap, simple, strong signal

Disadvantages: Drops out when heavy downloading or torrenting

I have mixed opinions about this router. When it works, it works very well, every menu is easy and it works right out the box. The trouble is, under heavy use, the internet can drop out regularly.

This issue is easy to fix, simply restarting the router sets you back on track within 5 seconds, but seeing as my router is in a different room, it can be annoying.

If you plan on web browsing and emails, with the heaviest use being you tube or light downloads, then this is perfect. If however, you plan on torrenting and heavy downloads, this is not the router for you.

Other than than, signal strength is good and the box itself is small and discrete. The software provided and menus are both simple but give the option of very advanced settings. It can support 4 wired computers and many on wireless at the same time.

Summary: Great for gaming, browsing, and watching videos. Terrible for torrents and heavy downloads
