Macworld seems to like it, but id like some real user advice if possible.

seems to be good, but if some one has real world range id appreciate it.

bought mine from amazon.com a few weeks ago.

works great w/ my airported dual usb ibook thru five walls. 50-60 feet away is as far as i've gone (again w/ walls in between).

it has all the standard options like WEP, MAC address filtering, port forwarding, DHCP server, MAC address cloning for WAN port, etc. really easy to set up.

just make sure you set it on a shelf or hanging up on the wall � it has two holes on the bottom � to get a better broadcast of the signal. when i first tried it, i had it on the floor, under a table and the range was still good, except when my washing machine was in the way.

MacWorld article sold me...
Then I bought it.
Loving it!

Impressive piece of hardware, Very sturdy.
Cranking 3 wired iMacs & 2 wireless iBooks.

I pat myself on the back each time I access it!
Enjoy!
