Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Works Great!
For a straightforward setups such as hooking the router up to a cable modem, this device works perfectly. For more complicated setups, it's actually better than other routers I have dealt with. However, the simplistic menu got in the way of more complicated setups. I tried using it a couple ways. First, I tried using it as a glorified airplay audio device in my car. My iPhone had troubles reliably hooking up to it. When it did hook up, it would drop out after a while. I think that was a menu issue. Second, I set it up as a wireless router for my parents who were going to get internet access for the first time. I did the simplistic setup to an Apple TV and my parents iPad. When the installer showed up, all he had to do was plug in the modem ethernet cable and everything worked like a champ.

Nice router for the size
Great little wifi router for the size. I left off a star because I had hoped for a bit more range, but the throughput is great. Range also isn't terrible. Easily covers my entire apartment, I was just hoping it would reach a little further outside to my parking space. Setup is crazy easy and since it's so small you can easily pack it up when you travel and use the hard wired ethernet cable in hotel rooms to set up your own wifi network instead of using the hotel's often slow and laggy wi fi.

Great router
I ordered this router to extend a network created by an Airport Extreme router. Setup was a breeze and it works as expected. The router gets 5 stars. What was't the best is the fact that it was Geeksquad refurbished. I've bought Apple refurbished before and it looked brand new. This one done by Geeksquad looked like it was run over by a truck. Dirty and scratched. But works fine so I kept it, the price was fair. For their refurbishment I'd give 3 stars. So average that and I rate it 4 stars.
