    Perfect product

    This Wifi router was purchased to replace a Linksys WRT54GL router (bought from LDLC in March 2007), which had been running continuously for 16 years without any problems, but whose Wifi performance was well out of date.
    Installation went without a hitch, with basically the same settings as before (same network name, same password). Wired router operation hasn't changed (100 Mb/s network), but 5 GHz WiFi is a real plus (Speedtest measured speeds of almost 60 Mb/s not too far from the router).
    For a modest sum, it's a top-notch piece of equipment. Let's hope it's as robust as its predecessor (used as a switch and Wifi repeater).
