good product, but beware my slip up
By tracey jones
this is a great product, very well priced, i did a lot of research before buying and this scores well anywhere you look, i bought this as our current wireless router just wasn't giving enough signal, our son's ps3 kept 'lagging' when online, our laptop would take an age. This product will cure this, as the signal strength is so much beter (previous wireless=sagem fast from sky)The only downside and THIS IS NOT A CRITISM OF THE MACHINE, it's my stupidity..... it is not a modem! I didn't think to check as i (wrongly) thought i would just plug it into the phone line.The solution is faily easy, just plug it into your existing modem/router so i now have two wireless routers on my computer desk, but this is something i will be happy to live with to get better wireless signal and not have our son moaning about 'lagging'. overall a good product at a great price

Not as good as you might have heard
By Jon Vaughan
This router comes by default running dd-wrt firmware (a Buffalo special based on dd-wrt anyway). This firmware (the so called Professional firmware) does not offer all the functionality described in the product description. To get that functionality you need to switch to the "Easy to use" firmware. This was a big disappointment to me as I was expecting a dd-wrt router with all of the pre-baked functionality like Samba which I knew would be an issue to get working otherwise.I also found that, despite the "High Power" claims (another reason I bought it), in practice the signal range was slightly worse than the perfectly functional Linksys wrt54g that it was replacing.So, I'm disappointed.

Good hardware, but default-firmware has bugs and is lacking
By Jostein Kjønigsen
Disclaimer: When I bought this router my primary reason was for a programmable/configurable router running dd-wrt, where I could use ipkg to install third-party software.Initial impression was very good. The device did everything I wanted and seemingly did it well. And since it came preloaded with dd-wrt firmware, I expected it was ready to be configured and customized to my needs.However the first thing I discover when logging into the console is that ipkg doesn't work. It doesn't work at all. I did lots of tinkering and tangling and I sort of made it work, only to discover that when ipkg works on this device, the repository it is connected to downloads binaries for another CPU-architecture and nothing you install actually works. This is alarmingly bad and I fail to see how this can not have been picked up during QA-procedures prior to shipping.Basically, out of the box, this is a super-flexible router, with lots of programmable flash-memory, which (since ipkg is broken) you can't use for anything custom at all.(Note: I also tried regular ddwrt-firmwares instead of the ones provided by buffalo with the device, but with no better luck. ipkg still would not work.)With the bad news out of the way: openwrt is supported on this device and installing it is about as easy as it gets. Once openwrt is installed, you can use opkg instead of ipkg and it actually works. Once that is done, you have a powerful, configurable router running on seemingly good and reliable hardware.
