very easy to use
do not agree with previous reviewer - i'm no expert at computers, but this was very simple indeed to set up. pop in the CD and it walks you through set up in less than 20 mins. no need to call india.it took a bit longer to work out how to share files/printers between PCs, but this is no different whichever router you use, and you can't blame the manufacturer/hardware for that. it's a windows issue.range is amazing over a large 4 storey house with very thick walls. very quick transfer...

What a relief - a router that really works!
Who knows whether I'm typical but so far in the evolution of wifi in my house we have gone through a Dell 1520 (OK, slow, 802.11b) then on to a much-hyped Belkin F5D9230 G+MIMO job (utterly, utterly unreliable, unsupported, nearly caused an embolism every time it had spontaneous spasm. So in total frustration I took a good look at the market and bought this.I'm jolly pleased I did. It worked straight out of the box months ago and it has never once needed restarting - a total success in my ...

Disappointing Range
I bought this item after researching several based upon reviews on Amazon. Having only previously used an ad-hoc network to connect my laptop, I suddenly found that I didn't have a clue how to set up a wireless network and it all became trial and error.Setting the Netgear up was no problem at all. Insert the CD and follow the instructions, 20 mins later - done.I was expecting to have a strong signal throughout the house, but this has not been the case and on several occasions I've ha...

Fantastic piece of kit - A problem setting up
I have been looking for a DSL router for some time and am glad I chose this model. Since using it, it hasn't let me down and is always ready to go. The only issue is that it is rather troublesome to set up. I spent a good 45 min on the phone to a technician in India. I've got nothing against this as the technician was very friendly and got the job done in a competent and professional manner.I would definately urge people to go out and buy this router if they dont mind a little long chat to...

Nightmare
I bought this N router to replace an existing G Belkin. It's range or performance are no better. I spent an hour on the phone to a technician in India who only succeded in refering me back to my pc vendor when he couldn't help me set it up. I ended up managing with the help of a friend. Product or help desk not recommended

Works a treat
Now it's set up that is. The CD that came with the product wouldn't allow me to set up the router with my system and wouldn't detect settings properly even though I followed the instructions to the letter. I had to go into the routers own menu's; this resulted in far better levels of security becoming available meaning only the three systems I wanted connected could be (by MAC addresses as well as the usual encryption codes). The speed the router works at is superb and the download times conse...

Netgear - GAH!
I recently purchased one of these routers based on the positive comments from here however, I encountered problems almost immediately. I found the Netgear technical support useless as the gentleman I spoke to in India couldn't understand a word I was saying and despite being on the phone for an hour and a half with him he still couldn't identify the problem. I decided to send this heap of very expensive junk back as it failed to reach my expectations and was not the simple set up I had been pro...
