I have owned this router for two years now, and it is a good entry-level router for those who do not need or expect advanced features or blazing speed. Firmware hasn't been updated since last year, which is to be expected from an older product.

Well Linksys get 0/10 for accessibility and usability for their website.
Obtrusive javascript that doesn't work...

Good luck finding a data sheet and manual online.
