Summary: Great product, easy setup
Review: Using a Motorola 4100 cable modem, setup was a breeze. Running both a wired and wireless network off the device. I've had zero problems so far. I have 11M NIC cards, so I have not been able to test the 22M functionality.

This is a terrific product--it combines all the functionality of a router, a wireless access point, and a wireless/wired bridge all in one.

My only complaint is that the rebate (thru SMC) has been a little slow to arrive.

Summary: Terrible, slow, hangs!!
Review: very bad hardware. After 4 weeks the router started to hang, and I had to reboot it to unlock it. Now this happens every hour, and anyway when it is working my pages take 5 second to load, slower than dial up and I am on cable.
I own and have used lynksis, netgear and belkin, all of them without a problem. I bought smc because of a professional review, but this is bad equipment.
Their support is terrible, if you go to their website you cannot even find new or old firmware for this model.
of course they don't want to honor the warranty because "it is working". Stay away!!!!

Summary: Very poor range...
Review: Very poor range even for home networking. Got this in a bundle with SMC wireless laptop card. In the manual for the card SMC claims 1300 feet, router 1155 feet... Signal has failed after 25 feet of space with no obstructions, and 15 feet if one wall is present. For those of you who like me hope to put the router on one floor, and use your computer on another stay away from this product!!! In addition, if you choose to use encryption, your PC will freeze... The higher the level of encryption the faster it freezes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Works great! 22Mbps!
Review: Works great with my cable modem. Doesn't seem to be any problems.
