Well, I upgraded to it because running torrents was requiring a daily 
router reboot.  Now, it's more like monthly (or less).

As far as the signal goes, I can only say that I get fewer drops at home 
instead of the office.  Then again, my apartment is smaller.  On the 
third (gripping) hand, the office has a lot more electrical noise in it.

In other words, YMMV.

Oh, and I don't know about Buffalo routers, but my Linksys was simple to 
upgrade.  From what I understand, bricking is pretty rare.
