Best value for money

You won't find another router with this kind of functionality and performance at this price point. I upgraded my internet access at home to 1000 Mbps, but I didn't see more than 200 Mbps unless I connected directly to a modem. After installing and configuring this router/firewall/NTP server/cached DNS server etc., I keep seeing >800 Mbps. As other people have pointed out, it has a design flaw. The power connector on the circuit board is too far from the chassis for a proper power connection. I removed the router board and used a 3/8" drill bit to enlarge the power hole in the case and now the drive is seated properly. It works great (I don't recommend doing this unless you know what you're doing. If you decide to take the risk of bricking your router, don't blame me if you do) .

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Annoying
