We've had one of these for about two years now, a purchase made because of the nuisance of having two computers and one cable DSL modem.

For me, using the router through the LAN has been fine. It does crash once in a blue-moon but we're talking like once a month.

Though the wireless has been a horror story in the past. Oddly we haven't had many dropouts lately which leads me to think that something was interfering with it - though it used to get as bad as connecting, then having it immediately dropout again and again before it settled down for a few hours.

We still have problems with wireless networking. Often computers will refuse to see each other until the router is restarted. I don't know if that's a Windows thing or not.

The router itself gets reasonably hot... I guess it's durable since it's been trodden on a few times as well.

I don't really know if I'd recommend this. I know there's lots of other people complaining about dropouts so it might not be just me.
