    CNET Review

    August 4, 2004

    The Good: Windows and Apple compatible; works as a USB print server; streams digital music via iTunes; excellent performance; WDS capable.

    The Bad: No browser-based configuration; no SPI firewall; lacks configurable port filtering; no built-in interface for audio control.

    The Bottom Line: This is among the best compact wireless-networking devices available.
