I have 3 of these. I will keep it short..
Dual Band is great, you can setup G and or N bands so there is no more packet confusion happening on BGN or GN routers.. You also reap the benefits of max throughput on N better compared than other routers due to the DDWRT firmware that comes STANDARD in this little beast.
Also it is under $125!!!!! which is very cheap to me for what this guy does.
In terms of distance, i was last week with this router at GIANTS STADIUM (aka new meadowland stadium) in NJ, i set it up on one end of the field and used a remote desktop application from my ipad to access a server accross the field.
WOW.. There were also obstructions and a lot of WIFI channels in use as well so very proud of this little guy.

I bought this unit to use AOSS feature with Playstation 3 while having other PCs and mobile devices on the same network. Couldn't find reviews on this vs. the top-of-the-line Cisco Linksys or Asus dual band routers, but its features are similar. I set up the 5GHz ban with dual-band Cisco Linksys USB adapters, but was not impressed with the signal from one end of my house to the other. My speeds were only <10 Mbps vs. 54 on the 2.4GHz signal. Verdict: don't set up dual band if the signal must go through walls; use in an open area like an office. Overall good features and easy setup with a decent price.

Comments about Buffalo AirStation Nfiniti Wireless-N Dual Band High Power Router and Access Point:
Got this to add 802.11n and replace some flaky (constantly needing power-cycled) 802.11g access points. It's been up for 57 days and untold traffic without a hitch. Using as access point only, have other things doing the routing. Was looking for wireless N and 1000-T wired functionality (kinda silly to have high speed wireless attached to 100-T wires...)
Works fine with both Macs and PCs and probably linux boxes as well.

Comments about Buffalo AirStation Nfiniti Wireless-N Dual Band High Power Router and Access Point:
I decided on this router after considering many more expensive models. My goal was to set up a VPN between my MacBook Air and my home network so my precious documents would be secure while working on public wifi networks. I couldn't be happier with the result. The "pro" version of the software is a bit to digest for even the advanced user, but I got through it. Beyond that, my home network is now really really fast.

Comments about Buffalo AirStation Nfiniti Wireless-N Dual Band High Power Router and Access Point:
I am using this with an identical router. I am using this one as a repeater/access point for the extended distance to stream 3D movies.
The bands do not stay constant, they are constantly dropping with no reason. I have spent 14 hours on the phone with tech support. I spent another 9 hours (holiday) chaning configs and trying to tweek it. Nothing works.
Being used as a router it works well, the speeds are good and the distance ok.

Comments about Buffalo AirStation Nfiniti Wireless-N Dual Band High Power Router and Access Point:
I use the router for personal use in my dorm. I share it with multiple people, several rooms away and the signal strength is still great. I also really enjoy the simultaneous dual band wifi: I use one that I lock on my computer (5GHz) and the other one that I share (2.4GHz)...
The options page is really extensive...

Comments about Buffalo AirStation Nfiniti Wireless-N Dual Band High Power Router and Access Point:
This is a great router. I am an IT professional but for someone who is not, I believe this would still offer them a simple setup and configuration. A huge bonus is that it has security enabled out of the box to help those who are unaware of the necessity. Great response and coverage area.
I've used DD-WRT on recycled routers & access points many times commercially and wanted to try out the hardware DD-WRT chose to advertise on it's own site. This is a great piece of hardware for home networking, gaming, streaming media, etc.

Comments about Buffalo AirStation Nfiniti Wireless-N Dual Band High Power Router and Access Point:
From our apartment in Manhattan, there are over 100 2.4GHz access points so getting a good G/N signal is very difficult. Using this router, I established a Wireless G+N network on the 2.4GHz frequency for my iPhone/Samsung Galaxy/Blackberry and a second Wireless N network on the 5GHz frequency (where there were only 3 other networks). Using channel bonding, I can get a stable 300Mbps connection in most of my apartment.
One note, the router comes loaded out of the box with the "Advanced" DD-WRT firmware. If you want to use the "basic" firmware, you have to flash the router which seems a bit counter intuitive for novice users. I was fine with this, as I wanted the custom firmware.

Comments about Buffalo AirStation Nfiniti Wireless-N Dual Band High Power Router and Access Point:
I owned a prvious version of this product, and it was pretty good, except that my Thinkpad laptop did not seem to like it. I have upgraded to this version, and I have not looked back. I can stream HD video wirelessly to my two tv's, and my laptop with no problems. It comes with the DDWRT bios installed. I swapped it for the easy bios because I kept screwing things up because of all of the functionality and control you get. This router is perfect.
