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...

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 ...

Great performance, great value, but 125 High Speed Mode is not a reality This is a great router, and has a strong signal thanks to the built in amplifier and high gain omni-directional antenna. An even stronger signal can be achieved with the optional WLE-AT-NDRHB 4dBi high gain omni-directional antenna. Note, this router isn't a MIMO router -- it is a "MIMO Performance" router. According to Buffalo Technology's own tests, this router out performs all two antenna MIMO routers at all distances, and all three antenna MIMO routers at certain distances. The 125 High ...

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...

I love it. This is my third router in a little over a year. First was linksys, second was a 130 dollar netgear mimo... Both were completely dead within about six months, with problems starting within the first 2 weeks. The netgear was so bad I couldn't even use the wireless on my pc's because it wouldn't even broadcast the ssid most of the time - I finally junked that netgear because not even the wired ports were working anymore (because the wireless was so abysmal I was actually running an ethernet cord o...

Great Wireless Product! I own the DLink DI-624 wireless router as well, and this unit outperforms it by a mile. Much stronger signal for my wireless devices and overall rock steady performance. Buffalo Tech products are so much better than DLink and Netgear (which I've also used) there are too many reasons to note.

Great performance and features This is a great wireless access point with strong performance and many good features. I have installed many access points, including those from Linksys and Cisco. I liked the price of the Linksys units, but they lacked the professional setup and administration features of the Cisco models(ignoring the fact that Cisco now owns Linksys). This Buffalo unit combines the best of both: good price and professional features. Among the nice features, there are three that I have found to be very helpful:<...

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...
