Testing:
We have done both wireless and cable testing. With a cable we saw speeds around 90mb/s from a laptop to a stationary computer.
With wireless we tried at various spots with brick walls between the router and computer, at 5 feet we had 14MB/s transfer speed while at 30 feet with 1 wall between we had speeds of 13,5MB/s.
Decent speeds in my opinion for such length between the router and computer.

Conclusion:
Looking at these results we have got we can say that we have a fairly good router on our hands. We were able to walk around the whole apartment without any dissconnections like our older D-link had issues with, we were even able to stand behind 2 brick walls in the corner of the apartment and still got a good connection with acceptable transfer speeds.
I like the looks of this router and the menus are very easy to navigate through which makes installation very easy. You should be able to find this router for around 50$ which is way less than most competitors on the market even though the wireless transfer speeds might not be as fast as on this one. Reliability and good transfer speeds for a measly 50$.
There is one thing that I need to mention though (this might be fixed in future firmwares) and that is that the router loses connection even if you are right beside it with a Wifi connected laptop. The dissconnects are totally random and happens both on laptops and on our iPad.
Pros:
+ Easy to install
+ Nice looking
+ Good WIFI connection
+ Gigabit ports
+ Good price
Cons:
- Dissconnection issues from time to time even at close range
