Broke just out of warranty
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I purchased this router, had no trouble setting it up, and no trouble using it for the first year, during the warranty period. Unfortunately, it stopped suddenly stopped working correctly just a few months after the warranty ended.
It was fine while it worked, but I’m not at all impressed by the reliability. Save your money and buy a more reliable router, unless you want to buy a new router every year and a half.
Setup Good, Power Supply Bad
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
Had this Router for about a year and it worked well. Setup was easy and it worked well with Xbox Live etc (had Open NAT which is important for some services). Routers are still not as easy to admin as they should be but the interface was decent.
Unfortunately, the little 1amp power brick failed after about 1 year. I know this was the case after doing some a/b tests with another power supply.
So, reliability was the only issue but that’s a big issue. I gave it 3 stars because I may have just got a bad PS. Its also unfortunate that they (Netgear) does not seem to provide replacment parts for the router (at least I could not find a it) and if you go through normal retail channels it will cost you somewhere between $10 and $30 to get a replacement power supply.
lemon
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I think I got a lemon. Used the installation CD, hooked everything up properly…”Router not responding”. CD suggested I disable my firewall and antivirus, and try again. Did that. Same “router not responding” result.
I’m not a technical illiterate. But this is my first experience with a wireless router, and I have no idea how to do a manual install. I’m in no mood to deal with offshore tech support. This is being returned. Guess I’ll try a Linksys next…(Sigh)
Works well for the price!!

Great product. I was concerned that it would not work well since it was so cheap, but I was pleasantly surprised by its speed.
