I have this router too and like it much. It's great with DD-WRT, as it has a Broadcom chipset. Only thing I don't like is it's wireless range is a little weak. But I think it's because of the internal antennas. I think routers with external antennas have better range. I also have a Netgear WNDR3700 (also internal antennas) and it's a little weak too. I have seen around router forums there are external antenna mods out for these routers, so there are others who feel the same way. Will go for external on the next router, unless I feel adventurous to try one of the mods!

But the E3000 is one fine router! I have always preferred LinkSys routers.

Just make sure you have it in a well-ventilated area, it runs warm.
