Goes down twice a day, overheats
I've had this router for ages now. It sits three feet away from me, and chugs away merrily for 23 hours and 50 minutes a day. If I put a hand on it at a random time, it's often very warm or downright hot.
Twice a day or so, my internet connection cuts out, and a router restart (unplug and plug it back in) fixes it. Some days this doesn't happen at all, and maybe the average is closer to once a day, but it's definitely the router. I generally notice it's hotter than average the times it goes down. So maybe the problem's related to temperature.. tough to say for sure.
Good thing the router was cheap and my work doesn't rely on an uninterrupted connection. I can survive the minor inconveniences of these outages--they rarely interrupt something mission-critical. Annoying, but not enough to get me to dump $70 on a new router yet. I imagine there's a more reliable option out there for the price, but cheap is cheap and I got what I paid for.

Need to Manually Install for 64-bit OS
The installation CD that comes with the router does not contain software that is compatible with a 64-bit operating system (i.e. Windows Vista). However, you can still install it manually from a 64-bit system. You will have to open up the PDF-file guide on the CD and follow the instructions for manual setup. Since your computer is supposed to be off during manual installation, you'll have to print out the initial set-up instructions. You'll also need some prior knowledge of routers in order to set up the security and other details after installation.
I've had no usage problems with this modem.
Moral of this Story: Good router, especially for the price. However, if you're using a 64-bit operating system, you'll need a printer and some prior knowledge of routers in order to successfully complete the manual installation.

Easy to install
I installed this router this morning in less than 30 minutes. I have an internal wireless card and within minutes, I had the Internet up and running wirelessly. If I had to repeat a step, it was due to an oversight on my part. So far, the router has been working flawlessly. It is a great buy for the money and for a novice just wanting a wireless connection for their laptop at home...it works great!
