Summary: I was skeptical about this router at first. I did not know this brand. But it seems like I start to actually really like this little router. The price was pretty cheap, range is excellent and so far I had zero issues. Not giving it "Spectacular" rating only because of the manual.

Pros: I agree, does it have to be DOA to get 1 star? If the highest rating that I see is 4.5 starts, CNET has a 2 star range rating system, what gives?
Cons: Give us an honest rating please!
