Detailed review
So I had something very specific that I needed with this device. I wanted to get my entertainment center on the internet, as well as stream media to my xbox.. all without any hiccups. Add to that I still have two other devices on G that I needed hooked up. So a combination of the Airport Extreme and the D-Link Xtreme N duo made it all work perfectly.
Both the bridge and the router can use N on the 5ghz band, so little interference there. Since the router can do both bands simultaneously, my G devices are happily on the 2.4 band, thereby letting my entertainment center have all the 5 it needs.
The router is in an upstairs room, and the bridge is downstairs across the house, so the signal is pretty fantastic. Outside of what I listed, I haven't tried to do anything outside of connectivity (wireless printing or anything). All my computers are PCs.
The only downside is the software. The router doesn't have a built in web server for configuration, and the software can be somewhat limited. All in all, though, I've been very pleased with it.
