Summary: Still working after all of these years 2008-09-16
Comment: I bought this in 2000 or 2001 and it's STILL my primary router. Not many firmware updates for it but since it's not using the same firmware that D-link/Linksys/Buffalo all use I'm not worried about off-the-shelf 'hacking' software being able to 1-click own my home router. Since cable & dsl are still below 10Mb/s for the most part and FIOS isn't available in my area, I've had no reason to upgrade! Gigabit in my home is handled by an inexpensive switch that simply connects to the router via a short cable.

Summary: works, print server is slow 2007-06-10
Comment: yes, it's a router. the print server is very slow, don't expect hp jetdirect performance, maybe 1/3 the throughput.

Summary: Returned product after one day 2005-01-15
Comment: I bought this router to make my internet connection more reliable. It went down three time in the first day (I wrote a longer review here but lost it when it went down the third time).
I did call SMC technical support which is available 24x7. They had me set the link speed/duplex from Auto-detect to 10mbs/half duplex. This did not fix the problem. She told me I needed to keep rebooting the router. I'm sure the router has been much more stable because others have given this five stars but I can't trust the uptime on this box and based on my one star experience.

Summary: A very good router 2004-07-22
Comment: After doing an entensive research on routers, I decided to buy SMC7004ABR. It's a very good router and very easy to install. I have two computers (will build the third one later) and all of them have network adapter card installed previously. All I need to do is to connect my PCs to SMC7004ABR router.
Later, I connect this router to a DSL modem. After some settings, all my computers can access the Internet through router.
I recommand SMC7004ABR to everyone who is looking for a good router.

Summary: it goes strong after 3 years of use 2004-07-06
Comment: I have nothing much to say about this little hard-wired router
SMC should keep producing this product
the most impressed part is stability
almost no disconnect/hanging with verizon DSL
the print server works fine as well
the only gripe is a little bit slow with UDP, no big deal
SMC has made some masterpieces
this router
SMC 2804WBR (grey version, not silver one), this one REALLY HAS SUPER RANGE with appropriate antenna, better than MS MN700, both "624" so-called Super G
