Love them, I've got like 3 different devices from them.

Did they show the machine that sucks the user-friendliness out of the firmware?

    My experience with them was the opposite.

    Got a router, setup with a single laptop and it would stop working after 2 days, but you wouldn't know other than suddenly routing wasn't happening. I would have to manually reboot it.

    Maybe it was a bad unit, but it was my first experience with them, why would I take a chance when all of my 20 year old Linksys/Netgear consumer units are more stable - at least they just keep running (and the UI is 100x better, which is saying something).

    Plus, the documentation is so bad, just about the worst I've ever seen. It's like something from the 80's. They really need to hire a tech writer.

    I just can't recommend them.

    Yeah, can't argue on the documentation, not to mention if you go ask a question on the forum you'll get an answer but also get berated (hi, anav).

    On the hardware side, idk, they've always been quite reliable for me, and they are successful producers of infrastructure devices, so I think their reliability has to be good.
