    Pros:
    Excellent Range – even with existing Wireless G clients
    Gigabit ethernet ports
    Network Attached Storage
    VPN Endpoint
    Excellent web interface with help along the right column

    Our house is like a wireless black hole. We have tried multiple Wireless G routers and cannot get a strong signal throughout the house. If the router is in the center of the house, we usually get a 11 mbps connection from our Wireless G clients. If we put the router at one end of the house, we do not get a signal at the other corner. We don’t live in a huge house by the way. With this router, we get a full strength signal through the house, regardless of whether it is placed in the center or in one corner. I assume it’s due to high gain antennas plus the built-in power amplifier. The range of our Wireless-G network has been extended greatly without even having to upgrade our computers to Wireless-N adapters. Most Wireless-N routers transmit in the 100 mW range (e.g. Linksys WRT610N, D-Link DIR-825). This router transmits above 800 mW, close to the legal limit of 1000 mW. You can look up the transmit power of all routers on the FCC web site. Excellent product!

    Update on September 1, 2009: Buffalo has confirmed a bug in the router. It sometimes loses the ability to connect to wireless clients. It seems to happen to me once every 1-2 weeks. I have to reboot the router to correct. They assured me that the first firmware update will correct it. The significant speed and range improvement for me makes it worth dealing with this minor issue.

    This router was a bit of a rush purchase because it was needed to keep the daughter off the wife’s computer. Even though perhaps not well researched, it was a purchase I was initially happy with, but one I now regret.

    This has the features you’d expect, such as four wired ports, N, G and B protocols. It has a few additional features I haven’t tried yet, such as the ability to connect a USB drive for network storage, and the ability to prioritize streaming media. Apparently the USB drive feature does not support NTFS.

    Setup was a breeze on my Vista computers using WPA. I did have a problem on the daughter’s computer that still has XP. For some reason I never figured out, it would connect, but not acquire a network address with WPA, but it was fine with WEP. Not happy with that I switched to a different network adapter, and all was good. I suspect it was perhaps a problem with the driver for the original network adapter (a D-Link model), because XP would crash when trying to fine the wireless networks using that adapter.

    Signal strength is very good in all parts of the house, and outside on the patio–surprisingly it’s excellent in the one that is the furthest away, but that is also in a lower location.

    My only complaint initially was be that the web based interface to configure the device is a bit sluggish. After dealing with it a bit more due to the bug discussed below, I no longer find it well organized. Some items are simply not where you would expect them, and with the sluggish interface, that makes it more annoying.

    After using this a few weeks I’ve run across a problem that other users of this modem have, and which Buffalo doesn’t yet have a fix for. The router will periodically lose wireless connectivity, and the only solution is to reboot the router, which is a real pain. Until this gets fixed by Buffalo with a firmware update, I would avoid this product. Currently there are no firmware updates posted on Buffalo’s site, so a buyer can easily determine whether new firmware has been released.

    i bought this router after having used buffalo products in the past, and looking at the specs it appeared to be a good value. but after trying and trying to get it to work for over a week, i am returning it because it doesn’t seem to want to work in my setup.

    in my case, the buffalo router’s wireless would not work properly when i had all of the ethernet ports filled up. the few times i was able to get the wireless to work with the ethernet ports filled-up, it would be extremely slow and timeout on webpages.

    i have a mixed network of mac (leopard) and pc (xp and vista) all with 802.11n and gigabit ethernet, also a readynas, and ps3 (gigabit). i tried to narrow down the issue i was having by plugging in each hard-wired device one by one, but the wireless wouldn’t work regardless of what was plugged in or the order it was plugged in. i even tried changing cables and re-intializing the router but none of those fixed the problem. perhaps i got a defective unit, but the router worked fine (and seemed very fast) when i did not have any devices plugged into the router.

    i ended up getting a d-link dir-655 which is working well regardless of whether the ethernet ports are full or not. the buffalo might still turn out to be a great router, but probably after it has a firmware update or two. also, to echo some of the other reviews, the admin interface is quite confusing and will require some time to adjust if you are used to linksys or d-link.
