Looks nice, but a terrible product

If you're thinking of getting one of these I recommend you have a google about for customer reviews or visit the linksys forums to see the problems people are having with them. Personally I'm about to take mine back after numerous issues, some of which include:
Router randomly switching to wireless isolation mode, so that no machine on the network can see each other.
Overheating.
DHCP server issues, not issuing IPs.

The DHCP server built in is also about the most feature poor I've seen, you can only allocate a block of IPs for DHCP allocation, you cannot setup machine allocation on the modem, if you want static IPs you have to manually set the machines to their static IP details.

Terrible product.

Definitely a Lemon

Thoroughly agree with sewellj2. Terrible problems with DHCP. Avoid.
