Rating: - Works great, once it decides to connect
Once I got the router to connect with my DSL modem, surfing has been great. I'm running a Mac, and even following the excellent instructions Linksys provides on their web page, I spent about 2 hours in trial-and-error mode trying to make a connection.
Security is excellent on this model, range is acceptable, and it's pretty fast. Overall, I'm very pleased with this purchase.
Rating: - just simply works
Setup was straight forward. Helps to be knowledgeable about addressing home networking functions. Had it up and running in about 30 minutes, handshaking between my desktop, notebook and printer.

Would highly recommended this router to a friend.
