Interface:
The interface is Remarkably in depth. For those of you used to a standard Linksys GUI buckle up. I have seen enterprise level firewalls with less options than this. (not good ones mind you, but they exist). From the ground up you have complete control, you can control access time, protocol blocking, mac filtering, you can separately secure and manage up to FOUR SSIDs. Security options include everything up to WPA2 with both AES and TKIP options. The GUI even alerts you when changes will negatively affect performance. This router is equipped with standard QOS traffic prioritization. You can enable or disable virtually any option. for WPS enabled devices you can configure the one button pairing. That is right, this is easier to use than a blue-tooth headset. Ever want to add a new device to your parents network while your 400 miles away? How does this sound, “Hey mom, press the button on the router for two seconds till the light flashes, OK, Now press the button on the adapter till the light flashes, go watch tv your done!” It doesn’t get any easier than that. You could even enable remote administration and VPN. This is one of the most full featured factory firmwares I have worked with. I haven’t even gone into half of the features. Take a look at the pics below.
