Strengths: Looks sleek, functions perfectly. Never a dropped connection, range that reaches from the second floor to the basement.
Weakness: No extra wired ports. While it functions well for wireless connectivity, it would be nice if there were some wired ports as well.
I used this unit to add wireless connectivity to my already-existing wired LAN. In that respect, it works perfectly, with one caveat--I only use WEP encryption.

Strengths: none
Weakness: lasted 6 months.
This product worked good for 6 months, then died. Could not configure box, would only work in default mode which has no security. Box eventually would not work at all. Netgear support stinks, should have read more reviews on this product. Bought 3Com for replacement access point, easier to configure, rock solid.

Nice Access Point
Strengths: Great features. In bridging mode you can use WPA2. Quick easy setup with the CD that guides you through it.
Weakness: None so far.
This is a very good Access Point and nicely priced also. That fact that it does WPA2 is what I was looking for. Works as advertised. Can't go wrong with this.
