Cons: none

Pros: Runs third party firmware, slim, small, no external antenna, price
Comment:
I can't speak for the default feature set but I've now installed two of these devices as wireless access points running Tomato (shibby) firmware. The first was a v1 device (4mb flash) and the second was v2 (8mb flash). No external antenna; however, the signal is great and it makes the device much slimmer and it blends in nicely with existing media hardware.This is the cheapest router ($23 and $30 depending on the sale) I've been able to find on NCIX that supports third party firmware. Highly recommend.

Cons: no usb, no external antenna, shape

Pros: small and low profile, relatively easy to configure
Comment:
I installed this for a friend who needed additional wifi in their basement. Their main box is a shaw SGB6782 advanced wifi modem and initially we thought we could disable the onboard wifi or run it in bridged mode and use our own router. As it turned out, the current firmware of the router does not allow this. The shaw box allows Moca devices but those are still relatively difficult to find and what we only needed was additional wired and wireless internet going into their rec room in their basement. Most wireless repeaters would provide a single wired + mostly wireless; Powerline was out of the question since the house had relatively old 40-year old wiring and there were a lot of noise in the lines. A wired switch would have been sufficient - if not for the need for occasional wireless access - so the only logical solution was to do a wired cable drop  from the shaw box to this Linksys E1200. Wire goes to one of the 4 blue Ethernet ports (and NOT the yellow internet port), dhcp disabled, wifi enabled and then set this up as a separate access point.This setup has been working for around 6 months without any drop ped connections. One multimedia pc, an iMac and gaming console on the wired connection and occasional phones and tablets are able to obtain access via wireless connectivityMy only complain is its shape. The flat layout almost necessitates placement on top of a desk. I am unsure if mounting this upright on a wall will affect antenna transmission and reception but since it only needs to serve a small enclosed basement room, it shouldn't make a huge difference

Bought this to replace my old Belkin that spent its time losing connection to my cable modem.Took me three minutes to setup my whole wireless access, including exceptions, port address ranges etc.The software is very easy to use and the help topics are clear.

Cons: wireless range could be better

Pros: fast, easy, user-friendly setup
Comment:
Overall a good router, would buy again if I need a router to put in my living room that I can connect my HTPC or WD Live! Tv to. I bought this router for a friend who had a standard 5 port router that was not wireless, he needed a basic wireless router for his PS3 since he didn't want to use ethernet. He set it up without my help and used the CD to aid him. He is not super techy or anything; has nothing to do with networking or computers.
