Pros: The wireless is fantastic. I live in a 2 story home and the router is located on the 2nd floor. My laptop can get a excellent signal on any floor including the attic and basement. I can even get a good signal out back in my garage.

Cons: I had to spend alot of time reading up and learning about routers in order to understand not one from any manufcaturer works correctly. Theres always a glitch here and there. I ended up turning mine into a switch simply because the firewall no matter what ports were opened or whether or not DMZ was used certain online console games caused me to lose connections with some friends. Whatever Router firewalls are overrated anyways. I never bought a router to get a firewall anyways. I run firewalls on my PC's

Overall Review: Unless drastic changes take place in the router industry I wont buy one again. The next one I will build myself and use something like IPcop. Fix your firewall Linksys, Educate the customer properly on gaming with the wireless connection. Wireless isnt ready for gaming yet. What were you thinking with the purple faceplate? Whats that supposed to match in my house? Nothing? Well you succeeded in making it look ugly and stand out.

Pros: Its wireless, Has customizable keys and was fairly inexpensive.

Cons: The space bar is grossly oversized and that wouldnt be an issue if it worked. Why you wouldnt use the same spacebar as any other computer keyboard I dunno. But leave it to Microsoft to design by this method. If it aint broke then break it.

Overall Review: I wouldnt recomend this keyboard or any other microsoft keyboard thats designed this way. Its worthless without a functional Space Bar. 3 of these and all are the same way. I knew better, I should have bought a logitech from the beginning. Thanks Microsoft for the Stupid looking paper weight!
