Pros: Great signal strength on both 2.4 & 5 Ghz

Cons: Constantly drops connections to the internet Can't set the time on itself Tech support is terrible

Overall Review: At first this unit was real nice, great signal from down in the basement to the top floor. Then unit decided to stop connecting to the internet, my devices could connect to the router, but the router can't get to the outside world. Real disappointed. Tech support suggested updating the firmware, which I did to no prevail. Cycled power. Tried it as a bridge. Tried different Ethernet port & cables... no change. Works for a bit then takes a dirt nap. It's a shame, good price for a 600 unit with 10/100/1000. And I'm out of the Newegg return policy, so I guess I'm stuck with it.

Nice case

Pros: Nice little box, decent construction for the price, makes for a good NAS or Linux server box.

Cons: Small, small, small on the inside, but that's the point. FYI, not a lot of room for a CD-ROM drive, I tried an old legacy job and it was too long to fit in the box without hitting the PSU.

Overall Review: We'll see how long the factory PSU lasts...

Snappy little board

Pros: Very small (mini-ITX, duh). Has a lot of connectors, low power consumption. Nicely put together.

Cons: SATA connectors are in odd spots, you will need a straight on connector to avoid interfering with either the IDE or RAM slots.
