There seem to be less and less commenters on these things...and I still don't win.
I'd love these since i'm getting the 3gs and need some.
oooh, i run through batteries like water!
I've had the DIR-825 for about 6 months now. Let me give you a quick rundown on pros and cons:

Pros:
-NEVER ever, down. It has never had to be reset because of connection loss, or anything.
-Very detailed menus.
-Visually appealing
-1 USB port to be used as a print or file server (With mac and pc support)
-New firmware has captcha support (if you're really concerned about security).
-QoS, uPnP support, all the things you could ask for in a router feature-wise

Cons:
-Range blows, ESPECIALLY with 5 ghz band. My bedroom is one floor up and about 40-50 feet away and I can barely pick up the 5ghz band, and then 2.4ghz band is pretty slow.
-Only 2 antennas, and no option for a third.

Honestly, it's great, but I wish I could get better reception in my room. If you do look at the Airport Extreme make sure you get the current gen, because it's the only one with Dual Band.
omg, I would love one of these. pick me please!
I'd like these. I keep losing my headphones...
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
