Worked well but poor durability
Pros
It was a breeze to set up and worked well right away.
Cons
Did not last long - about a year and a half before needing to be replaced.
Luckily it was under warranty. Poor Asus customer support - lacking in knowledge about their own product and were unable to help me re-configure it.
Recommend it?
Maybe, it depends on what you're after.
