Advantages: Ease of installation

...all over again. The philips support site is OK, but the search facility is useless. I had to use Google to find what I was looking for on the philips website. Overall, a nice looking bit of kit, but for more functionality within the same price range go for a Zyxel DSL / ADSL router which has the USB wireless dongle, more authentication types and excellent wireless coverage.

...was able to connect my BT Vision box, Desktop Computer, Bluray player, and XBOX 360 directly to the hub via the Ethernet connections, and still enjoy the wonder of the wireless to one of three laptops in the house, as well as my iPod. This joy was soon over shadowed by a very dark cloud, more on this later.

Advantages: wireless, stable, secure
Disadvantages: none

There's not a great deal to say on this product as it does absolutely everything you would expect it to. I currently have this wireless router installed to transmit Virgin Media Broadband through the house. I have to say it's fantastic!
