 The best router at a good price November 24, 2007
What a great upgrade. I upgraded the software to wrt and it gives great range and strong features at a good price.
 Hate this router August 8, 2007

My old Netgear router was a cinch to set up compared to this. I'm running XP on a 6-month old laptop -- maybe it'll work OK with Vista but I've tried to set it up 3 times this week with no luck. Conflicting instructions on the CD, Manual and web-site (that's 3 sets of instructions) make it worse. After installing, it caused a shut-down error (two times) that required a system restore to fix. The IP address may or may not have to be entered manually at which point it overrides the wired network IP address which then has to be "repaired" in order to connect again. The whole thing is a mess. I looked at Flashing the firmware but honestly, it's not quite as easy it the other posts make it sound. Newegg reviews show several people with the same problems and Buffalo offers virtually NO tech support.
Works great if you turn off 125 High Speed Mode July 3, 2007
I purchased this Buffalo router so that I could move my computer to a part of my house that has no cable outlet. When I first hooked it up, my bandwidth speed was disappointing. Using [...], I was pulling only 4800Mbps (using a direct ethernet connection I was getting 13500Mbps). So I started playing around with the settings, and after changing the FrameBursting mode from 125* High Speed to just regular FrameBursting, suddenly I was getting 13000Mbps. I tested it several times using both modes, and everytime regular FrameBursting mode produced 2-3x faster internet download speeds. BTW, this setting is found on the admin console under Advanced-Wireles Config-802.11g. br /br /So far my connectivity has been great. No dropped connections. My only gripe about the router is that if you change anything in the admin console it takes 1-2 minutes for the router to restart.
Rock stable and trouble free. June 19, 2007

I got this router after suffering with Linksys for years. As far as wireless networking goes, this is the best decision I've made. br /br /My old router was plagued with dropped connections, poor performance, and other glitches. With this router, I've never had to reset it even once. It's up 24x7. br /br /I upgraded it to the DD-WRT Linux firmware last week. There are some pretty cool features including ssh access, VPN support, etc. It's been working great. br /br /You may also want to try the "tomato" firmware which is supposed to be even better for network throughput.
Works great with Windows Vista June 16, 2007
This wireless router was one of the easiest I have ever set up. It has excellent range and connectivity. Works perfectly with Vista. When you initially try to install the CD it may tell you that it's not compatible, but if you try running setup a couple of times it installs and runs just fine! A great value and superior to Linksys.
