picked one up, installed it today (was waiting on some other cabling to get finished) – and it works well… quite well. I dont have any wireless G devices anymore to test on…but is all good on wireless N and (no surprise) gig wired connections. Setup was as easy as plug, plug, plug (power, antenna, ethernet) run the supplied DVD…. auto downloads the latest firmware, a simple wizard for config, then config Windows media centre to use it…. very easy….
Handy for when the missus is watching some crappy soppy movie and the cricket or footy is on!
