Awesome router!

NETGEAR N300 Open-Source Gigabit WiFi Router 128MB NAND and 128MB RAM, 480 MHz MIPS 74K Processor (WNR3500Lv2)

Pros: This is a very powerful router, especially if you flash it with Tomato. It worked fine with the stock firmware, but the ability to use open source firmware really makes it shine. With 4 gigabit wired ports, you can have a solid wired network. Connection speeds for the wireless generally max out the adapters on my network. Range is good as well.

Cons: Haven't noticed any cons yet. It has been running very solid with multiple computers, blue ray player, etc.

Overall Review: Seriously, to really get the most out of this router, you need to check out DD-WRT or Tomato open source firmware. Has some cool options for QoS, but I haven't delved into that yet. It allows bandwidth limiting for individual users, for the bandwidth hog on your network. :) You can also change the transmit power and monitor IP traffic. This router is chock full of potential! But you don't need to be a techie to use it; it works very well out of the box.

Great little camera!

Pros: Great camera for the price! 16 megapixel lets you take poster shots. Fast autofocus, automatically adjusts the scene mode (facial, fireworks, macro, portrait, etc. You can shoot short videos (about 10 minutes at a time) & it has panorama assist and a wide screen mode, and I love the 8x optical zoom. It really brings the shots close (for a small point & shoot)

Cons: You can't adjust the zoom when shooting video. Knew that before I bought it.

Overall Review: I bought a class 10 SDHC card for the camera to minimize write times during rapid shooting.
