I'm very happy with this router. My first thought when I opened the box, was, oh--it's so small.  I bought it to replace a a poor abused Linksys wireless router that I'd had for years and had been dropped one too many times.The Medialink router set up easily--I did choose to use the CD that came with it, but you don't have to.  There is no software to install, the CD just contains instructions and will tell you if your connection is good.  Since installing the router, I haven't had any problems with it and it seems like my internet speed has increased. The signal is stronger than my last router--all the bars are solid. My computer is in a different room than the router and there have been no drop offs disconnects.  Good router for the price, definitely. 

Question: How did I make the connection?
