Released January, 2009
The Pros:Small footprint, can tuck it away out of sight easily. Stand isn't needed if you don't want to use it, saves a little more space. Provides a consistent and strong signal to areas of the house that previously couldn't connect at all.
The Cons:Software has major conflicts with the Windows Vista operating system, causes a lot of problems. Ships with some buggy firmware that needs immediate updating to avoid regular problems.
