11. Had it for 4 months

No problems setting up desktop computers, Laptops, Surfaces, Home Servers, netbooks, printer/Fax/Scanners, Windows 7.5 Phones, Xbox 360 and other devices with everything from a bastardized distribution of Linux to Windows 8 Enterprise.

WPA-2 Encryption was easy. Port forwarding to our Home server was easy. Setting up a DMZ for a hosted website was easy.I like the features for a guest network that is firewalled from my home network, but 2.4 Ghz, not the home network 5Ghz, is pretty cool.

Throughput is great, epecially for wired connections, thanks to the Gigabit Ethernet ports. Coverage throughout our house has been much better than the old Netgear router we had. Had been contempating repeaters or WAPs before getting this router. It's been flawless so far. Any problems we've encountered have either been the modem or Comcast.

I have been happy with Ubiquiti. Downwinder Dec 2012 #1
