JiWire's Quick Take
Likes
Simultaneous 2.4 and 5GHz network capability, ability to separate draft-n and legacy devices, gigabit switch, adjustable external antennae, touchless Wi-Fi encryption setup, privacy separator, good interoperability with other draft-n equipment, IPv6 support, external router/access point switch.
Dislikes
Extremely poor documentation, need to buy matching cards for top performance, must tradeoff speed & range, high price tag, no parental/access controls.
Good for
Those in a crowded Wi-Fi environments who wants to put 802.11n devices in their own fast lane, while continuing to support 802.11b/g devices on a separate network. Streaming media users and those with gigabit Ethernet clients or network storage drives.
Bad for
Budget conscious buyers and those who don't really need the speed should wait for prices to drop, and certified draft-802.11n products to appear late this year.

SmallNetBuilder "The nFiniti is on the leading edge of what I think will be a trend back to dual-band WLAN gear. Once the 2.4 GHz legacy protection mechanisms are implemented [for draft-802.11n routers], most users will find it difficult to achieve maximum throughput in the overcrowded 2.4 GHz band. So the move to 5 GHz will be necessary for many users."
Computer Shopper "The Buffalo Wireless-N Nfiniti Dual Band Router and Access Point's coolest feature is its ability to provide connectivity to all of your 802.11 devices regardless of which standard (802.11a/b/g/Draft-N) they currently use. That means everybody can connect at the same time without an administrator having to manually switch radio signals, since the router actually creates two separate networks for 802.11a and 802.11b/g users. And, because the $299 router also supports the Draft-N specification, you can achieve longer ranges and faster speeds than ever, as long as you have a compatible adapter."
