Connect four PCs directly, or attach more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need. Finally, the Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection. Once your computers are connected to the Router and the Internet, they can communicate with each other too, sharing resources and files. All your computers can print on a shared printer connected anywhere in the house. « short desciption

This router rocks. I replaced a Linksys WRT-110 with this router and was amazed by the difference in wireless networking quality. The WRT-110 was constantly dropping connection and slow; this router is constantly connected and fast.
We are using one desktop (XP), one laptop (Vista), one wireless printer and one VOIP adapter (SPA 2102). Easy setup and none of the arbitrary problems you can get with Windows.

I've been recommending these units for years and have overseen the installation of over two dozen of them in that time. These little guys may not have 802.11n but they are able to run Tomato and DD-WRT operating systems, this makes them a tried and true starter network device. With layer 7 quality of service configurable as an option any VoIP user can improve their network significantly by switching to one of these.

Fulfillment of this Cisco product from Amazon was fast and hassle free, the unit was easy to configure, the admin GUI is logical and clear, and the option to reprogram the firmware with open source Linux opens up endless possibilities if I ever have the time to really play with this unit. I would highly recommend it for any serious IT hobbyist looking for a replacement wireless router. Also, the price point came in $10 lower than my local computer/electronics store, even after shipping was included.

Setup is easy and runs the computer on the other side of the house. Can't ask for more than that for this price.

I am running the router with a PC and a MAC at home.
The installation CD does not provide MAC software and the custiomer service (website, chat, phone) is poor. Since my PC didn't have a CD drive, I ended up buying an external one.
Installation on a PC is very easy though and from the start it worked flawless in WPA2 mode on both the PC and the MAC.
Reception and Reliability are great.
--> Buy this product if you have a PC or if you feel comfortable installing it manually on a MAC (I had no idea how to do that).
