Cheaper to get a motorola nim-100 on ebay. Can be found for less than $50 each. Heck you can even get a pair of verizon actiontec routers on ebay for cheaper than this.
Having Verizon FIOS, I love the speed of the service, but I got sick of the dropouts with the wireless internet with my router being placed downstairs and my computer being upstairs. I was looking for a way to have another "router" - or something along those lines - for my upstairs bedroom so that I could plug my computer directly in and not worry about getting disconnected (regardless of my adapter, I was getting kicked off every couple of days at the minimum, causing me to restart the router). I was also looking for a way to plug in some other devices - such as my Xbox360 and my Popcorn Hour. This device would have been perfect, but the price is way too high.
When I asked around a while back, I found out I could simply pick up another Actiontec router (which Verizon gives you when you sign up) for cheap and configure it to work in conjunction with the first one. It's also setup to duplicate the wireless settings of the downstairs router, so I get much better coverage for anything I want to use wirelessly upstairs. I never have to reset anything anymore and I am able to plug in a bunch of different devices.
The best part is that you can pick these up for about $30 from computergeeks.com - much less than the device in this article. The only catch, of course, is that I don't know if that would help anyone with service other than FIOS.
