  this is second one, I purchase because we have two homes. The first one worked so well that I ordered one for our other home.
  
  * to avoid any problems, I contacted their support for assistance in the installation, both times, they walked me through the installation with no problem at all
  
  * it took less than 20 min.
  
  * they were quite professional, helpful, friendly, personable,patient and knowledgeable with good communication skills, the second time, it was a person with an accent, but his use of the language was great.
  
  * I use the wireless alot w/ my ipod and get perfect reception all around inside and outside the house

  the first one, I have owned and used it for several mos., with no problem, the second so far so good.[ just installed 2 days ago]
  
  * they both have given a boost to my modem, something nice, in addition to everything else
  
  * I would truly recommend this item, great buy and beyond expectation service and support.

  Manual setup was easy after downloading the manual as the disc does not work with 64 Bit (XP or Vista). However, speeds were very slow (250kbs) so talk to customer service at Netgear, upgrade firmware, send back to Amazon. Amazon’s customer service is always great so start the process on the next morning by 10:30 with a new router. Same results, talk to customer service who escalated to senior level after mentioning difficulties with Toshiba cable modems. Ah-ha. Off to TW and retrieve a new modem and Voila, thru speeds at 12mbs through the modem and router compared with 7.5mbs with the old modem connected directly to the computer. This is a great value as my laptop now connects at 200 feet from the house in my shop. None of the connection and problems were difficult, but it took a little patience. Apparently this is a fairly new model and I guess Netgear is still working some issues, but once the new modem was in place everything is excellent. And once again, thanks to Amazon for their excellent service and competitive pricing.

  I had no experience with routers at all, and wanted a wireless router to do gaming through xbox live. With no previous experience, you put in the install CD, and it walks you through the steps easily, and it is up and running flawlessly in less than 20 minutes. A few months later, I also hooked up a printer and notebook, each in seconds. Anyone can set this up and attach devices to it. Works well with good range throughout the whole house. Great product. Highly recommended.

  This was my first time setting up wi-fi at my house. This router works great. I get a great signal all over the house with no interference at all. I ended up manually installing it because it had to be used as a bridge with my AT&T modem. That was easy following the directions off AT&T’s website (just look up by your modem model #). I was nervous because I’ve never done it before but I was surprised at how easy it was and what a great signal I get form this router.

  Setting up a wireless internet connection is often like experience the migraine headache: first comes anxiety, followed by the pain of the actual experience, and concluded with immense frustration at the time wasted. Just from my own experience (and those of a few family members), getting wireless “just right” is a monumental task. Fortunately, this NetGear product made the overall task much less frightening.

  Basically, this product works like it should (no small statement in the world of wireless router technology). Just follow the basic hookup instructions, and let your home computers detect the signal. One helpful hint: Though the NetGear installation disc will prompt a hard-line connection to a base computer for product configuration, this step can easily be skipped if registering the product is not high on your priority list. Just get the cords right, and let your computer’s wireless adaptor (whether purchased or imbedded) detect the network and you’ll be off and running.

  One of life’s great ironies is that it often times takes multiple Internet consultations to set up a wireless internet connection, but in this case it was a much more positive, stress-free situation. I highly recommend the Wireless-N product (over Wireless-G) for its strength of signal. I live in a relatively large house, and each wireless device still gives me a working and usably fast connection to access the web.

  Replaced a five year old Netgear router with this model. Throughput went from 5 mb/s to 9 mb/s. I’ve had it up and running for little more than a month and have had no trouble whatsoever. I got this router for 39.99 around the beginning of March 2010. I’ve noticed the price seems to fluctuate so if you have the luxury of waiting, keep checking back for a lower price. If you need something right now, then spend a few extra bucks and get this router. Even at $50.00, it’s a phenomenal deal.
