Strengths: Easy to set up, get full 300 Mb wireless speed. Still works with my old laptop using b and g.
Weaknesses: None
Summary: Provides faster network connection for my laptop than the Ethernet port. Simple web interface for management although I have not tried some of the advanced features such a server publishing and gaming.

Strengths: Great wireless signal. Connection hardly drops.
Weaknesses: Takes forever to apply an update.
Summary: I would buy another one. I had to warranty this after it went bad and Netgear obligen without hassle. Easy to configure just have to do everything in the proper order.

Strengths: gigabit switch
Weaknesses: Changing any setting, no matter how minor (like changing a port forwarding setting) forces the router to reboot, and drops connection to the entire network!
Summary: Great router for anyone that doesn't configure much, but if you have a server or like to host games on the internet & things like that where you configure it often, I'd look elsewhere unless you don't mind dropping connection every time you change something.

Strengths: Good wireless range, easy setup, and a nice look. Especially without the antenna?s!
Weaknesses: Had to update the firmware, and found that out after setting it up, which had to be re-setup again after the update.
Summary: Pretty good router all-in-all! I would strongly recommend it.

Summary: Before I purchased this I had read that wireless n should boost performance a little on computers still using wireless g. I didn't notice much difference. It doesn't appear to be much stronger going through walls than wireless g. But when used with a wireless n adapter there was a noticable increase in coverage. But still not much improvement if you have to go through several walls.

Strengths: Gigibit interface, 802.11N standard, low Heat emission, different color LEDs indications for different speeds (10 & 100 / 1000 Mbps), fast response on the control panal (HTML)
Weaknesses: Whenever new setting/change is applied, the time required to save is quite long (usually 30 seconds or more).
Summary: This wireless router is so far the best one out there with gigabit interface on the wired conection and up to 300Mbps for the wireless connection. The price for the router has dropped quite a bit as well and that makes it affordable. On Tomshardware.com, this router is shown with amazing capability of max. concurrent connections. This is important for those heavy Bit-torrent users.
