I've upgraded to this router from a Buffalo Air-station. This router is simple to use and easy to set up and the range is mind blowing. On the 2.5ghz band, this router can cast out a signal to about 500 ft (from the 2nd floor, from inside my house). Great for wifi access around the backyard or to my neighbors house across the street. It has separate guest network access for both the 2.5 and 5ghz bands... Just point the antennas to the direction you want the signal to go and it sends out a focused beam to your awaiting devices. It has a built in DNLA server and my attached 2tb USB drive is easily accessed from my network without having to use complicated network configuration settings. The NAS feature allows the use of NTFS formatted USB hard drives, and the speed of this router is impressive. The TP-Link web interface is a breeze to navigate though and allows for advanced routing capabilities. The only downside to this router is that DD-WRT firmware cannot be installed on U.S. versions. Other than that, this is a great router for the average home or small business user who need a simple to manage, yet feature packed router.
