    I've used this router for just under a year (got it as an open-box at Fry's for about $85), connected to at least 5 laptops and 3 desktops, all in daily use. I've had no problems with it, and after initial setup during the first couple of weeks it's been rebooted about 3 times at most.
    The shared printer over USB didn't work well (it was an old printer), but USB drives have worked well with it.

    ^ WHAT? Rebooting 3 times in a couple weeks is terrible. My router only reboots when I tell it to or there was a power outage.

    #3 he's saying 3 times in a year and he did the rebooting. So much for reading comprehension..

    #3: #4 is correct. To clarify, during the first couple of weeks I rebooted it several times as part of setting it up and tweaking it. Since then it's only been rebooted about 3 times, either due to power loss (where my UPS didn't have the juice to stay up for long), or when I've made other adjustments. Aside from those occasions it's been as stable as a rock. Oh and it serves up data to several iPod Touches too, and a Wii, and a BluRay player.
