  I used the wizard, followed the instructions, and this all-in-one came right on-line with great statistics with my service provider VERIZON. However, you still need to know how to configure all the optional features but the manual explains what is involved. Great product I recommend it.

  At first it took a little help to get this modem setup with my verizon dsl. After that, this modem and router is absolutely by far worth the money. I have vonage….yuck I know…internet phone and with the automatic quality of service on this modem, my vonage works better than my land line phone ever did. Great product, would absolutely recommend especially with internet phone.

  My old Gateway 2wire broke last Friday after the 2 year warranty expired. I called ATT tech support which took forever only to find out that the reason the failure was with the power supply.

  I needed a modem and router that night so I went up and picked up one from a place called _RY’s(just add the 6th letter of alphabet to fill in the blank) to test it out Took some time to find the old email address and password and finally signed on using the enclosed CD. After about 30 minutes I was online again. It worked for me all weekend like a charm. Hit the middle button on it to turn off the cool LED lights though

  I decided to try buying one from Amazon and low and behold it was cheaper and I decided to saved some serious cash. I saved 13.5 percent!. I saved 8.75 percent only by not paying California Sales tax.

  The modem and router arrived today. I installed the Router/modem from Amazon and returned the other one to the store for a full refund. I saved some money shopping from Amazon and the next person buying my store bought version will save some money too as the store version is going back on the refurbished shelf.

  So far so good. The laptops, desktops, and gaming consoles work really well.

  I hope

  I replaced a 2wire wireless router/DSL modem with this. It installed just fine on ATT DSL service. It works great and both wireless g and n speeds seem good. N signal strength is better than g, presumably with it using the 5Ghz band. I use two macbook pros on the n network and a Wii and ipod touch on the g network. The latest firmware update enables the USB storage port to connect an external USB harddrive. There were a few features missing that I was used to with the 2wire router such as port remapping (forward an external port x to internal port y) and local DNS lookups for devices connected on the local network. These are minor features that generally aren’t present on consumer routers so this is not a big deal.

  I went to buy this today @BB after my 2wire died on Thanksgiving Day. It is almost $30 cheaper on Amazon, so if you can wait for the shipping I would get it thru here. I already had one day without internet so I just braved the loonies and the lines and bought it.

  I consider myself to be of average tech skill and had no problems at all with setup on sbc/att dsl. The ease of setup was amazing (pop in the cd and go), the wireless signal is strong and I love the N wireless. I would definitely recommend this product. I also use the netgear powerline adapters so I have had positive experiences with netgear to this point on all products.

  This modem is a replacement for a 2wire 2701 HGB modem sent to me from ATT. The 3rd one finally bit the dust with constant disconnects after one year! I installed this modem in about 30 minutes. I had to use the 2 wire phone line because the one that came with the modem wasn’t long enough.But that was no problem. I plugged everything in installed the software walked through the steps and then I was online. I connected to the wireless by using the passkey> very easy even for a grandma like me. So far I have twice the speed I had on the 2 wire( I have ATT elite service suppose to get 6000mbps download and 768 upload) It has never reached those speeds using the 2wire. It isn’t reaching them with this but it must be caching pages faster because every thing is faster even on my wireless Sony laptop which I use in the family room and there are two rooms between me and the modem. I am very happy with this modem and I like the user interface which gives me everything I ever used on the 2 wire interface. It is also Window 7 compatible. I downloaded the newest software from netgear and it is flawless so far. It has nice calming blue lights. I do not find them offensive in the least. In fact I love the one that lights up on the side of the modem/router. Every computer on my network shows up. I will update latter after I have used it for awhile.

  I found that my Westell 327W just wasn’t cutting the mustard anymore, especially since I have added a variety of wireless devices around the house. I hesitated to purchase this because of some of the complaints I read. However, other comparable routers seemed to have even more problems. I was pleasantly surprised when I was able to install this using the accompanying software with no problems whatsoever. All you need is your IP ID and password. I immediately noticed faster downloads. The NWS enhanced radar image loop that used to take over a minute to download now takes about 10 seconds. None of my wireless devices have dropouts now. This is using a standard Verizon DSL service and Windows XP Pro.

  I was a bit skeptical after reading some of the reviews posted but after a lot of research and seeing both good and bad in every router/modem combination I decided to jump in and buy this one in an attempt to to solve my AT&T DSL disconnection problems. I am really glad I did now! I did not attempt to use the software disk but downloaded the software directly from the manufacturers website, plugged it in, and all was good. If you have ever set up a router before this will be really simple as setup is very basic. The only problem I had was when I set it all up it did not “see” the DSL connection. Problem easily solved by simply unplugging the phone wire from the wall, (including the DSL filter), waiting about 10 seconds, and plugging it back in again. Best investment I have made in a long time! I stream Hulu to my PS3 via Playon, iTunes tv shows to my Apple TV, and share music and videos to 3 laptops, a desktop, an iPhone, and and iPod Touch. This thing has amazing speed! No more video streaming issues or connection problems! As far as heat, I have it sitting where it gets plenty of air and keep room temperature about 72 degrees and it is just barely warm to the touch! No heat problems here! I am very happy with this product. I am running Windows 7 on all computers and all my devices (including PS3 & Wii System, are running “N”. My oldest laptop is about 3 years old. You can get a lemon in anything. The production lines still run on Friday afternoon as well as Monday morning but this is definitely a winner for me! I have had it over 5 weeks now and still going strong!

  Works perfect with my Verizon DSL. Easy setup, not a single problem to date, couldn’t be happier.

  Thanks to Dual Band Wireless-N technology, the DGND3300 delivers exceptional wireless performance by avoiding interference from household devices such as baby monitors, microwave ovens, and cordless phones. The RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N provides up to 23 free channels (versus just three with regular Wireless-N), and the DGND3300 also has eight internal antennas for optimal wireless connectivity.
