Reviews of the Buffalo WBR2-G54S
-
CNET Review
The Good: Fast mixed-mode throughput; WPA and 802.1x support; VPN pass-through; easy connection to other Buffalo devices.
The Bad: Lackluster maximum throughput; no adjustable external antenna; extremely technical documentation; comparatively short warranty.
The Bottom Line: Unless you already own other Buffalo AOSS wireless devices, skip the WBR2-G54S in favor of a full-featured alternative.
