Best Router Ever
Due to security reasons, I wanted to update my 802.11b dlink network to the g network. After trying the every (and I mean every) 802.11g router on the market, I firmly decided on this Buffalo router and I couldn't be any happier! Linksys just wouldn't work with my Bellsouth DSL connection (even after trying PPOE settings), Netgear just did not perform adequately (range was very short and setting it up was a major ordeal). I would have been extremely satisfied with the Belkin routers (MIMO and...

Great platform for open source firmware
Best features for the open-source router firmware enthusiast:
- built in pre-amp on Rx and power amp on Tx. Note that it's not real MIMO as the name might lead you to believe, but the amps make it have "MIMO-like performance" (which I've found is true).
- high gain antenna
- so it has a better S/N ratio than the Linksys WRT54GL, which has been the defacto standard
- support for 'afterburner' protocol (ie. 125 Mbit/s)
- Widely supported by o...

Comments: I just recently purchased this new router and just can't say enough about its design and performance. Having had two abject disasters with two Netgear wireless routers this, so far, looks to be the ticket. The first noticeable affect was the substantial increase in the through-put with my other networked machines. If I had one criticism it would be that the set-up instructions ar...

30% Throughput improvement
Well, in my particular scenario I am measuring a 30% throughput increase in my wireless with this unit over the D-link 624.
My office is 60ft and several walls away from the unit, and I am getting 16Mbps in actual throughput. I get 20Mbps when closer to the unit.
Note, these are actual data throughput and not theoretical measures as you usually get.
The signal strength is -70 to -60dBm with noise of -95 to -90 dBm using an Atheros mini pci client card.
Next,...

This one's a keeper!
After my trusty Netgear router died on me, I decided to "step up" and get a pre-N router. The experience was less than delightful.
Then I decided to give the Linksys WRT54GX4 a try. It was okay for a little while, but started dropping connections like crazy after a week or so.
Finally, after lots more research, I decided on the Buffalo and DD-WRT firmware. Talk about striking gold!
My connection hasn't dropped in weeks, and the throughput is considerably better ...

EXCELLENT HARDWARE!
Tech Level: high
Ownership: less than 1 day
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This router is GREAT! If you are tech savvy and familiar with flashing firmwares, FLASH thins thing with TOMATO (google) firmware. It is lightweight and has LOADS of features that extend the operational capacity and ability beyond the scope of the factory firmware. Big thumbs up to Buffalo for making such a fine product that supports customer choice and ...

Works, but not very compatible
I bought this router for my new apartment thinking I'd use something better in the future. I'm sure the turbo g works fine because the computers I had on the network were able to communicate within the LAN, but this item is not compatible with my cable company's setup and WAN is unaccessible.
I subscribe to Comcast in the SF bay area and new service comes with an Arris telephony modem. Apparently, with Comcast and this modem, Comcast requires you to use the MAC address associated wi...

junk...terrible tech support
This is the second Buffalo wireless router I've purchased. The first one did not work correctly, and after waiting on hold for almost 30 minutes, tech support finally fielded my questions. The technician was curt and rude, and he couldn't locate the problem. Finally he suggested that the unit may be bad. He suggested I buy another. It didn't work either. They say this is simple to install--and it couldn't be installed even with the technician's help. I have installed other wireless router...

Poor Antenna Performance
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Ok on power with DD-WRT installed. Flash installation is difficult but doable for a sophisticated user.
Cons: Antenna connection does not support external Buffalo antenna's. This requires the purchase of an adapter with more expense and more shipping charges and more delays.
Other Thoughts: I do not recommend this...

No way this is worth 64 bucks
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: They have good customer service.
Cons: Slower technology and N. Slow lan ports, dd-wrt is for sale now not free. (Look into it before you doubt this). There is a relaeased version and a for sale version. The for sale version is better than the free. If you are a unix\linux guru you can compile one but there is still no guarantee you have the right thing. Brainslayer and ...
