Just got my won-on-ebay MR 314 (hey, Christmas came early for this Jewish kid).
In summary:
Set Up - 15 minutes (I did read the PDF manual before, though...it's available on their website).
PINTAF (Pain In The Ass Factor, 10 being highest) - 3
Range - Decent (good reception in my bedroom (20 feet, 2 walls away; okay/patchy reception in living room, 40 feet, 5 walls away).
Size - Strike me as having a sizable footprint for a wireless router....about 6" by 9".
Affect on battery life - Yikes! I figure I'd have about an hour or so on a fully-charged Pismo battery.
Other notes for those setting one up/considering buying one: There are specific Mac instructions, (they are for OS 9 , but easy to figure out for OS X). Read the instructions. Do everything they tell you (though Jaguar makes it easy...you don't have to reboot every time they tell you to). This thing will work like a snap.
I am not a network technician, so if I can do this, you definitely can. Feel free to ask any questions you want.
