It's quick but not 'F1 category'. -Not all those default setting were at the bottom. -Missing WL modes become a real issue in my case. I used DSL-2740R for replacing a Comtrend router by my ISP's connected to a DW2100AP. The DW2100AP has a 'brother' to keep working a 'WL bridge'. I wasted two weeks diagnosing... To notice that, now I can only us ONE of the computers on the 'WL bridge'. Planning to go to the previous hw config and not thinking about more changes to 'Draft N' or others BTW: It was a headhache to get an up to date F/W. Also only En/Fr available on latest versions. So, my final thoughts: Yes, it's a good device if you do not need those missing WL modes.

It's been 4 months now, and it's been running absolutely great. The most stable DSL/Wifi router I've ever owned. It cost me 80€ at Mediamarkt (the price is already in the article).
