Pros:Fairly easy to setup
Cons:Desktop software help file is not very useful, rely on booklet

I have been using this for over a year and overall I like it. It took awhile to figure out why my Pocket PC wasn't working, but that was finally resolved, and now I have four computers hooked in- two by cable, and two by wireless, using the WEP security setting. I have read other users not being happy with this, saying it dropped signals (wireless) and can honestly say I have not had that problem. My problem has been it seems to broadcast your wireless broadband connection well beyond 300m. That's why I made it a priority to establish at least some sort of encryption, because I checked the signal strength with my laptop, and found it maintained a strong signal well down the street where I live. The software help file that comes with it has some weak descriptions on how to do what you want, so you may have to experiment, but the owner booklet is pretty comprehensive. All in all I think its pretty good device.
