Users upgrading from last year's E2000 give up an antenna and Gigabit Ethernet but gain simultaneous dual-band connectivity, better ease of use, and better 2.4Ghz-band performance. It's a good router, but better throughput at the 5 GHz would make it better.

Stock firmware has a bug that drastically reduces performance after about a week of uptime. Flash with dd-wrt, and it's rock-solid.

It's best used as a simple access point. No Wireless Bridge Mode support. Unless you go for DD-WRT (experimental builds) and Tomato is not supported.
