Mine wasn't so awesome, I change to Telecom after they upgraded in my area and none of the three routers (POS Dlink's mind) would talk nicely with the rest of the world, Had to go all the way out to the airport to pick it up as no one heard the courier knocking on the front door, then it worked for a day then packed up, then took two days to get a technician out to look at it, spent a couple of minutes looking then stated it was stuffed, he said they weren't very good and he's seen quite a few stuffed ones - although mine was the first one acting like disco lights he had seen. Fortunately the replacement is working fine so far.... Regards, Kerry
