Wow.

For $230 this is truly the best router I have ever seen. Heads and shoulders above the previous Netgear "RangeMax" POS that I got for $30 less!

Some problems with it though...

When there is a problem and the LED light blinks amber you can click on the problems and ignore them through the admin utility. How do you return to that option panel after that? It seems like once you have choosen to ignore a problem you cannot unset the option anymore - EVER! :eek:

It doesn't seem to like FAT32 and FAT16 drives, when I hooked a HFS+ drive onto it, it works fine, but when I plug in a usb thumb drive or another hard drive with the FAT file system it mounts but there are no files visible. A bug? :confused:

Only thing that I can ask for it would be gigabit ethernet and a more versatile file sharing tool like share points. It still can't replace share point for me, but everything else is just as I hoped it would be.

From the option to operate it in bridge mode and the ability to broadcast the bonjour packets globally on the WAN interface. Apple definitely has a clue when they designed this!

If only the Macbook Pro is as innovative as this amazing router!
