Strengths of the product
Overall a solid product, it has it's quirks like all products, but it does a good job in a small business environment - set up three of these so far, and all is good.

Like any product with firmware, always a good idea to upgrade to the latest, stable, release of the firmware - remember, don't just confirm the product model when downloading the firmware, hardware revision is important, otherwise you could end up with a useless product.
Not good at all...

Additional Comments
When I purchased this router and set it up I was quite happy. I locked it down and went on my merry way. One day I found that a number of my game accounts had been hacked (in 15 years of playing that has never happened).

Strengths of the product
- Full featured network appliance
- Allows creation of VLANs on lan an wi-lan. You can create a guest wireless network which has no access to your internal company network.
- Speeds seem good
- WiFi signals are good
Weaknesses of the product
- Shipped with defunct firmware. VLAN creation did not work out of the box. Had to update the firmware before it worked properly.
- Logging functionality is dismal. If you are having problems with packets getting blocked, it is very difficult to find out why.
- Not all ALG's can be disabled (some are permanently on)
- FTP ALG is not implemented quite right. Works probably 95% of the time, but I have experienced problems with a few FTP servers (isolated to the DSR-250N. Works with CISCO ASA)
Additional Comments
- Good router for small business use
- Would probably not recommend for more technical uses.
