Absolutely brillilant, although range is a bit iffy....

....saying that, I live in a 200 yr old cottage with uber-thick walls!

Have no problems, im experienced with routers, even then a few bug me.
Some cut out randomly and annoy me (damn that linksys!)
But this one always works, only bad things I have with this is the range, I live in a house with only 1 wall internet thingy-ma-bobs and that is in the hall. I normally use my laptop in my living room and that is about 20-25ft, the signal is a bit weak, but bearable. Excellent router

I received a different modem from my ISP when I upgraded my plan a few days ago. I ran the speedtest dot net connection test on my Netgear 54 mbps wireless ADSL modem router DG834G v3 against the Thomson TG585 V8.

The results of the tests were:

TG585 V8: Download .38 mb/s. Upload 0.28 mb/s. Ping 58ms. I sensed something wrong so I restarted the TG585 and searched the web for a firmware upgrade - their website has no firmware upgrade. I ran the TG585 DOWNLOAD test again and they improved to 1.77; 1.41; 2.11; and finally 1.51 mb/s.

DG834G V3: Download 2.35 to 3.12 mb/s. Upload 0.32 mb/s. Ping 50ms.

Upload tests were relatively consistent between the 2 products.

You guess which of the above products I have chosen to use.

For the record, I did not bother with testing the TG585 wireless connnection. A pity because we get a poor signal in our bedroom when using the DG834G. I guess this will keep electronic devices out of the bedroom to an extent.
