- Great for someone who isn't scared to use a different firmwareI have used several Asus routers. Out of the box these stink, but if you install the tomato firmware, this turns into a powerhouse router. Yes it does add some complexity, but it is well worth it. If you have any problems you are usually able to reflash it with the clear settings firmware and start over. This is one of the few routers that works with tomato and has 32mb of flash storage (for the firmware).

- I wish I didn't buy this router.I bought this router based on it's specifications: 802.11n and USB ports for network print or storage services.

- Can it be made to work with a Mac?I replaced my Netgear W54g with the WL-500W after reading a review that it worked with a Mac. Fat chance. It lights up, looks pretty, but so far, nothing. If anyone has any ideas on how to make it work with a Mac, please post a comment and let me know how or email me directly at tommylaws1@gmail.com.
Thanks.

- Has nice featueres on paper, but doesn't work well overallPros: 802.11n, usb storage link / print server
