Excellent

8.1

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 8.1 out of 10
Reviewed by Allen Fear
Review date: 8/4/04
Release date: 7/1/04

The good: Windows and Apple compatible; works as a USB print server; streams digital music via iTunes; excellent performance; WDS capable.

The bad: No browser-based configuration; no SPI firewall; lacks configurable port filtering; no built-in interface for audio control.

The bottom line: This is among the best compact wireless-networking devices available.
