    Duration of ownership: 1 Weeks

    Strengths: Wireless connection worked great

    Weaknesses:But cannot do any connection using a lan cable connected to any port on the rear of the unit, the cabinet seems to get quite hot, tech support was mediocre.

    Overall Evaluation: I eventually returned the product for a refund after many hours messing with it. I was unable to do the setup using the cd but was able to do the setup using their ip address. The wireless worked fine but could never connect using a lan cable connected to any port on the rear of the unit. Their tech support could not figure it out, told me to return the unit. I then exchanged it for another which had the same problem. I'm surprized to have these problems given I am using a T60 lenovo laptop with windows xp. There is a button on the side of the unit which is not explained in the manual. The cabinet seems to get hot. Tech support can read alot from the script but pretty useless, they seem to have a heavy accent. Ex -They said I had a browser problem even though my browser worked fine, then said I had a cable problem even though the cable works fine on other routers.

    Strengths: Very Easy Setup (use CD if your new or plug it in and goto 192.168.0.1 if you know what your doing), Feature Rich, Fast Speed, Doesnt drop signal while downloading with Bitorrent, Bargain Price

    Weaknesses:Overheats if you place it down on your desk horizontal causing the router to drop your internet connection (set it up Vertical using the stand they provide to stop this from happening).

    Overall Evaluation: It works wonderful with Encore ENLWI-N PCI Adapters which cost 30 bucks compaired to D-Links PCI adapters that cost 80 bucks just make sure to download the newest software from Encores website. When I first set up the adapters I was only getting a Signal of 57-63 with the router horizontal on the desk but when I put the router standing up
