I'm using the EA2700 as one of the AP's in my house. I've had to run only one band (2.4GHz), because maintaining a wireless connection on either band with a multi-band client is terrible with the unit. This is with and without the software update (although I've read reports about this being caused mostly by the latest update that modifies the wireless controller drivers some). Nonetheless, happy with the unit when running 2.4GHz band only. Streams my DLNA services across the house quite nicely, can't complain. I'm running it in AP mode, as I have a Netgear wi-fi router doing the routing, NAT, e.t.c., for my ADSL connection.
