In my opinion this broadband ADSL router is one of the best on the market considering its price.

I have been using this model (I've had different versions) for a number of years and never have I known one to fail; this is especially impressive considering I never turned them off when in use. I am a very heavy internet user and when configured correctly delivers on the speed that you would expect.

In terms of 'plug and play', there is very little needed to be configured on this product to start surfing away and it comes with a single quick start sheet that shows clearly how to access the configuration page through a web browser initially.

For more advanced users it is very easy to configure port-forwarding (useful when playing online games or downloading via peer-to-peer to achieve the desired connection speeds). It even supports VPN connectivity so a user can connect two remote sites and have them act as though they are in the same Local Area Network.

All options are easily configured using a web browser and provides on-line help in the form of a constantly visible information bar.

To put this into perspective I work for a company that has 22 remote sites, albeit they are small sites in comparison to some larger organisations but never the less, we use this same product to connect them to our company network, with no problems.

The only downside I would say about this product is the operating heat, it can run farily hot so it is best to place in a well ventillated area, free of obstructions.

To conclude, this is probably my first choice model in its category for use at home and in a small business. The range of features and reliablility is excellent considering the price. I would highly recommend it.
