    Great product, June 9, 2007

Recently I had to give this router up for the Verizon Fios router. The Verizon router did not have the same range or stability. I turned off the wireless on the Verizon router and went out and got another one of these (gave the old one away). Now the laptops are doing great on the other side of the house.

When this router arrived, it didnt come with the standard packaging. I realized this was a refurb, which made sense as to the low price. It was NOT clearly marked as a refurb and I am currently researching to see if it was advertised as brand new merchandise.
To make matters worse, port forwarding doesnt work with a standard install unless you take down the SPI feature of the router, making it less secure. The fancy lighting is useless and has no functionality other than to fire off blue light. Fortunately this can be turned off.
If laptop is put in sleep mode, it has a VERY difficult time reconnecting, sometimes having to reboot in order to get a clean connection. Signal strength also seems to be less than advertised but this may be the reason it was a refurb. I think there are better routers for the money. I wont go with netgear again.

This is my third wireless rotuer

Pros :-
Cool Looks
Good speed
Good Range

Cons
1)Router Configuration is not stable i.e. when you will have you modem 2)reseted you need to re-install router configuartion.
3) Pelase Do not think your internet will be faster than any 8Xg router.
4)Unneccessary Fancy LEDs does not help but consume power
5)BULKY
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5) MOST IMP :- If you are buying this REFURBISHED then then Be EXTRA CAREFUL because Netgear will not support Installation process over phone also no manual will be provided. If think you are smart enough to install without CD or Manual or Phone then only BUY it.

Somehow I could come out of situation because my another colleage was having installation CD.
