Overall Review: After attaching the drive to Tablo, the DVR reformatted it and started using it without issue. Couldn't be any easier.
Pros: I like the dual band and the speed is fine.
Cons: I have two access points on my network, an old WRT54G and this. The connections are: WRT54G <-> 8 Port Switch <-> Wired Router (NAT) <-> Cable Modem Archer A5-----^ Both wireless units are set up as Access Points and passthrough DHCP from the router. Just having this on my network makes all devices drop internet connection briefly every 2 minutes or so. Happens even if I'm not connected through the A5. Also happens when I remove the WRT54G. This is unacceptable! I've tried all suggestions I can find on the WWW. Unsurprisingly, no one reports "problem solved". I am sending this back for a full refund.
Overall Review: Don't bother getting this one.
