Cons:

Wireless sometimes dies for no reason.

Overall Review:

I have been using this router for a few years now. I find that it is great when it works. It has a very good range. I have this router in the 1st floor and can get connected on the second floor and basement with 3 to 4 bars on wireless. Unfortunately, for the last year or so, the wireless just dies for no reason. I had to restart the router to get it to work again. It is very random. I have never had this problem with my other routers in the past. I read that newer N routers around my area might interfere with the older B/G routers, such as this one. I am not sure if that is the case here though. I tried switching channels, but it has not helped the problem.
