Pros

Good dualband (2.4GHz/5GHz) 802.11n speed, USB printer/drive sharing, WiFi range extension
Good performer. No appreciable throughput drop with WPA2/AES security. Easy Mac-based setup. Can share a USB hard drive over an Apple network.
Significant speed boosts; Gigabit Ethernet support; improved USB file-transfer speeds; speed enhancements in complex network configurations.

Cons

Cant support simultaneous 2.4GHz and 5GHz nets, No UPnP or DDNS support; setup software required
Apple-centric—not much thought given to Windows users. No firewall, even though this is intended as a home Internet gateway. Awful performance with security other than WPA2.
Modest performance on crowded, lower-frequency bands.
