Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Wow, these outer reviews really slam this router - but I suspect it must be software (firmware) issues. This is a Linux 2.6 based router.
I'm not your typical user, I own 8 other N routers that I'm using for a Linux development project (OpenWRT testing). Planex/PCI did a great job implementing their circuit board (clean and tidy) and the website configuration interface. As soon as I got the router, I flashed it with the Jan. 2, 2009 firmware on the Planex website.
I can't say enough positive about the technicals of this router for the $60 price.
It supports WDS out of the box, few N routers allow this. It has an Atheros ar9103 chip which is 3x3 MIMO. I tried a 8GB Kingston flash memory stick in the USB port mounted and worked the first time. It even has a way to view the Linux console log from the web pages.
Hardware wise: 32MB of RAM, 400Mhz CPU, 8MB of flash for firmware, easily soldered in rs232 serial port, USB port standard. Anyone looking to hack on the Atheros AP81 router platform for Linux should be impressed with the job that Planex did with the hardware.
OpenWRT now working!
