We've seen a bunch of consumer routers lately that try to take the complexity out of configuring and managing a home network. This one does that and adds in a layer of network security to prevent malware and other nastiness from infecting your computers and other devices.
I did find that some sites that are not in Norton's trusted database will see a pretty sizable performance drop vs. those that are in the database. Unfortunately there is no way to know which sites are in or out nor is there a way to manually whitelist trusted sites for better performance.
For those very concerned about home network security this is probably a good choice. It's the only router out there that really focuses on this and manages that activity for the user. There is a monthly fee after the first year for that continued feature set ($10 a month) but it also includes free Norton software licenses for every computer in the house as well.
