imo the cpu is nice
but not a lot of ram or flash... meh
furthermore, I'm not a real fan of netgear

the fact that they have a community site, that promotes alternative firmware is great. But I think that way it's also hard to find the best firmware for you, due to the vast amount types of firmwares
Also their website is for their products only, which I do understand from corporate view, but I'd rather have a website for every good router
