Just joined the modern ear of WiFi! This thing is awesome! Downloading torrents, I game off steam, several apps for my tablet and phone, and to top it off streaming in Netflix on my Roku. Whilst all that happened I was watching HD videos on you tube and didn't feel any stress. I'm seeing bout what I'm paying for with cox. This is awesome.
I hate the smart WiFi thing that Linksys is doing now. Too many steps just to setup my router. Even the GUI is cumbersome, not very logical, and not enough control. I was running DD-WRT on my old router, so I'm am a bit biased towards that type of interface and control over my hardware it gave me.
Other then the router config I really like the speed it has given me.
I give it 3.8 out of 5 Skull and Cross bones.

Sounds good. I might have to look into that one. I am looking for a new router that supports mulitple SSIDs with different configs per SSID so my guest SSID doesn't have to be dependent on my internal for the DNS servers. Will this do that?

I believe so. It has a 3 SSID from what I can tell. There is the 2.4Ghz radio's SSID, the 5Ghz radio's SSID, and a Guest account SSID. The Guest account is very limited in it's configuration. Like I said I hate not having as much control over my router as I did with my previous routers. It does have an FTP server and can access a USB storage device. I'm sure that if I could get a custom firmware such as DD-WRT on here I could make it more me friendly.
