 Quality product September 3, 2010

Am very happy with this router. I had only one small problem when hooking up. It didn't want to work with my windows 7 computer. One call to the support center solved this in 5 minutes.

This product might be a three star, but the support, both included with the router, and on the help line, is horrible.
First off, the included Set Up CD included with the router does not support the Mac platform. But of course - they don't tell you this. There's not indication on the CD itself, or in the help materials within the CD, that it is Windows specific. I only figured this out after spending 20 / 30 frustrating minutes trying to get the CD to open up properly, finally calling the Technical Support line, and being told no, that CD only works in Windows machines. Oh - OK....
Which brings me to the other half of my review. I've had to call Technical Support three different times to get this router working properly. The first two times I called I was put on hold over ten minutes. And each of the three times I was finally connected to an insolent, barely civil tech support agent who acted irritated, bordering on outright rude, if I didn't immediately understand everything I was asked to do. I ended each phone call with my router working again (temporarily), but feeling like I'd just bothered someone with stupid questions I should have known the answer's to myself. (So why do they call it a Technical Support Line?)
I rarely, if ever, post negative reviews like this, but I feel in this case Buffalo really earned it. The router itself might be OK now that it seems to be finally working properly. But I've rarely, if ever, experienced a Technical Support group as poorly trained, under motivated, or as outright negative, as I have on the Buffalo Tech Support line.

I purchased this for a friend who has had some issues with some past routers. This one was easy to install and set up for her network. She is able to move about the house without losing her connection, including outside to the deck. Previous routers were dropping her if she went into a different room.
I have a buffalo router here at the house and have fantastic luck with it which is why I recommended it for my friend. I would buy another buffalo router in a heartbeat.

I bought this to replace a Linksys WRT54G2 router, which worked for a month and then started giving me incredibly slow internet speeds, requiring me to power cycle the modem and router numerous times each day. This Buffalo router was not the easiest thing in the world to set up, however I know very little about routers and I was able to get it up and running in an hour and a half, so I guess it's not too bad. The automatic setup wizard was not able to establish an internet connection, however when I went to the router's home page, there was an option to connect to the internet, and choosing that solved the problem. Some of the wording in the setup wizard is a bit confusing, for instance, when entering a user name and password, it told me to check with my internet service provider, making me think that I should enter some name and password that I had arranged with them. Like I say, it's a bit confusing.
As far as a comparison to the Linksys WRT54G2, here we go:
Linksys: 70% - 75% signal strength at my Playstation 3.
Buffalo: 85% signal strength.
Linksys: 1 - 5 Mbps download speed at PS3.
Buffalo - 6 - 9 Mbps download speed.
Linksys - big reduction in internet speed with a wired connection to my PC.
Buffalo - no noticeable reduction in speed over wired connection to PC.
Linksys - a regular hotplate. I moved it once and the desk underneath it was downright hot.
Buffalo - only slightly warm to the touch.
The AOSS (AirStation OneTouch Secure System) worked well with the PS3 - I originally set up the router with no security and went through the automatic network connection setup on the PS3. Once that was done and a connection established, I went into the custom internet connection settings on the PS3, paged through it until I got to AOSS, then chose it and went and pushed the button on the top of the router. All the security was set up automatically. Pretty cool!
So far I'm extremely satisfied with this Buffalo router. Other than the fact that setting it up took a bit of head scratching (and one rather loud profanity), it seems to be working perfectly. Now if it only lasts! You can be sure that if I start having problems with it in the future, I'll most certainly be back to edit this review.
