What's Hot

Good speed for streaming video, Gigabit Ethernet switch, keyword content filtering

What's Not

Random drop-outs, had to restart after every settings change, worked best with Netgear adapters only

The Final Word

Good features and wireless streaming speed were countered by random drop-outs, which caused us many headaches.
