This is the lowest I've seen this priced before. Most of the bad reviews are complaining about the Cisco Connect Cloud service that they FORCED users to use with a "backdoor" update to the firmware. They've done some serious backpedaling since then, but I would still advise that you make sure that automatic firmware updates are disabled. My two cents...

Other than that, this is a pretty powerful router. They haven't changed the user interface much, which I like, because I've been using Linksys stuff for years.

FYI inSSIDer is one of several free programs out there that will show you the wireless networks in your vicinity. It's very helpful for choosing appropriate channels to avoid interference. LINK
