I have six of these installed in my main office and three outdoors to connect several buildings. I'm not sure why the other reviews are so negative. On the indoor six units I'm running RADIUS authentication on a Windows 2003 network and it works flawlessly. I've had to adjust the power output for each unit so they don't over-reach. Users can roam the building and stay connected with no problems. The outdoor units are running in AP/Bridge mode and have been trouble-free. I'm not convinced the external 9db antenna really adds much more range. Be sure you're using the latest firmware which resolves a DHCP error.

I bought this router to replace a WNR854T and it exhibited the same problem after 3 weeks--power light on, nothing working, dead router. Yes, I am a fool for trying Netgear again. The WNR854T at least lasted 6 or 7 months. I returned this one and got a Linksys.No more Netgear products for me ever again. And I have purchased Netgear products for the last 5 years or so.Don't buy this routher.

Had most of the problems you can read about here. With wireless (WAP security) turned on and little used I had to reboot the router monthly. With some long working wireless Saturdays it could lock up within a few hours. Only solution is power cycle; which at least doesn't reset the flash settings.So I quit using wireless, connected up a cable, and as a router and statefull firewall it's been pretty darn stable for more than a year - with only very occasional wireless use. Good enough to not replace, but not what I bought.Router died on 02 May 2009, with ethernet port to DSL modem non-responsive. Troubleshooting a pain because the router log only indicates timeouts for PPPoE PADO responses. Don't buy.

This is going to be my second FWG114P I'll be purchasing. Netgear has package a great device... combination Print Server/FireWall solution. I found it simple to configure and maintian... Recommend to update to the latest software rev. immediately before configuration. Once you have configured your device to your liking... remember to back up your settings!Now the review... It has been my experience with the Netgear wireless devices will only last between 2-3 years. I previously owned a FR114W with a wireless adapter.. this was good for almost 3 years (2004). I called support and after challenging their INDIA Tech Support for days/weeks and 3 RMA's later, I finally, got a new product not a Refurbished one after complaining! I decided to go with the FWG114P keeping the FR114W as a backup. Thank goodness for that else I wouldn't be able to write this review today... Great device until just recently... Again the Wireless component after 2 years went bad...challanged INDIA Tech Support to begin the RMA Merry-go-Round... After several blind action items including, rebooting the worksation, router, disconnecting the power from the wall and ISP connection and finally flashing to the latest software revision (This must be scripted the engineers I worked with were clueless) and 2 1/2 hours later they determined the device just went bad and the RMA was finally issued.I really like the product but don't count on the India Support and don't count on the device to last more than 2-3 years. One clue... Once you finish playing with India support and if you have gotten no where... DEMAND! "ONSHORE Level 2 support". This will get routed to California... here you stand a better chance of resolution. I did...less than 30 min. and I got the RMA. If anyone knows of another Print server/FW all-n-one device like this one please respond I would recommend a change to a more reliable device.

Initially I was getting slower speeds for my HDHomerun and posted a review here, but after being contacted by NETGEAR support, I was able to resolve the issue by adding a WISH rule on both devices to prioritize the traffic.That said it was easy to setup, just plug in, push a button on each device, and its no problem. I have been using it reliably for a voip telephone, file transfers, and lower quality video for over a month now.

I bought this wireless adapter about 2 years ago, and discontinued using it after about two months because the connection was very sporadic and slow. Their customer support staff was totally and completely unhelpful. I later found out that part of the problem was the Netgear wireless router, which was unreliable in its ability to transmit the signals, and I had to unplug and then fully restart both the cable modem and the router several times a day. I switched to a Netgear wire router, which was only slightly more reliable and was able to deliver higher speeds, but I still found myself unplugging and restarting every few days.I recently bought a new non-Netgear wireless router (Linksys, which works great), and the Netgear adapter seems to be working well, that is, until it starts to overheat. It only takes a few hours for it to overheat and it just stops working, so I have to unplug it to let it cool down then replug. I've read that others have been experiencing the same problem with their wireless adapters.After trying 3 different Netgear products, I would NEVER AGAIN buy another product from them. Their products are inferior and prone to problems, and good luck getting technical support. Save your money and avoid headaches, DON'T BUY NETGEAR.

I use the WG111T with a Netgear wireless router (MR814) that connects my home computers to the Internet. I have been using the WG111T to obtain drivers in order to get the 802.11 cards working on used laptop computers that came with erased hard drives (after reinstalling the licensed OS - Win2K). I have also used it with a desktop PIII 500 in which I didn't want to install a wireless card. The WG111T is easy to install and works well on all the computers I have used it. I have not noticed any operating problems with the WG111T, and am very pleased with the product.

Just received it and works perfectly so far. It works on Vista but i suggest you ask your seller first because there are different version of the product. Also if you have wep on your hotspot then you should use the windows wireless connection wizard instead of the netgear one. well it is reliable and comes with an extended usb cord which also offers a bigger range of connectivity.Have fun!

I've been using this router for a couple of weeks now with no hitches. The wireless connection signal is very strong.Setup was fairly easy and painless, but you should know this.....I connected my Canon multi-functional printer, scanner, copier, fax unit into the router's USB port and all I can do is print. You also won't get any feedback from the printer, so when you hit "Print" the popup printing progress window tells you the printer isn't responding, but it's actually printing just fine. This is not a huge problem for me, as that's all I do from my laptop is print. Most of the time that's all I do with my printer from my desktop computer too. When I want to do something else from my desktop, I just swap the USB plug to the computer's USB port and back into the router when I'm done, nothing needs resetting. I consider it a minor inconvenience, but your mileage may vary.

I have this wireless adapter, and it works fine... when I am not uploading or downloading a lot of data. However, when I am doing so, it will constantly overheat. Sometimes it overheats within a matter of hours, but sometimes it will overheat within 15-30 minutes. It can be very frustrating to constantly have to unplug it, let it rest (or stick it in the fridge), and then plug it in again. I am currently looking to replace it, which is frustrating because it was comparitively expensive when I bought it.

I have set up several computers in my home network using this model. For the most part, I have had success. Every now and then, it's necessary to "repair" the connection, or to re-start the NetGear software. This happens after periods on inactivity and does help to maintain a level of security. I use this product on Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional, and Windows Vista Premium successfully. Take time to learn and explore when setting up your home network. All systems require some degree of tweeking. It helps to learn somewhat about these products and their applications prior to jumping into the installation. If you are a novice with little patience (like may of the negative reports I have read),hire a computer geek to help you set up your network. Have fun!

Device worked flawlessly - plug and play - re-configured easily for WPA-PSK security. 2 - wireless NICs both received different DHCP addresses simultaneously from one WGX102. Perfect for the one room in the house which was a dead zone. Anywhere else in the house - I re-attach to the router with no problem. If you need to extend your wireless network, this is a perfect solution.

This product really sucks and no one should buy it. On a VISTA basic machine - turns off all the time, and doesn't have strong reception. Replaced it with PCI card from Linksys which is much better. I would just stay away from all of Netgear's stuff -- i used a PCI card from them which also didn't work.

I bought this almost 2 months ago and i am very satisfied with the product. I dont have any hiccups in the connection nor have i experienced anything negative. My only concern about the product is that it overheats within an hour's use and not sure if that would be harmful in the long run.I recommend this product.

I chose this combination wireless router and USB print server because I needed both those functions and wanted to keep the equipment/wiring quantity down. However, the print server failed with our Dymo LabelWriter 400. This was unfortunate but not entirely unexpected. Printer compatibility is hit-or-miss with most of these.I solved this problem with a separate Netgear USB Mini Print Server (Model PS121), which was reported to work by Dymo. Now we can print wirelessly to our laser and the LabelWriter.Overall the functionality is fine. I think it compares favorably to my home network's Linksys WRT54G, though I would have simply bought another Linksys if I'd known up front that the integrated print server isn't compatible.

Purchased Netgear WGX102 and used it in conjunction with Netgear XE103. It was truly "plug-and-play"! It did exactly what was advertised it could do. It worked without having to install the software (but installation would be needed to encrypt the network). The wireless signal was strong but it doesn't go through concrete walls/floors, so we purchased 4 Netgear EX103 wireless access points to put in different rooms in the house. Good product for instances where one wireless access point doesn't reach all areas of the house.

I bought this wireless card when my on-board ethernet died. Although I'm very tech savvy, I found installing the software for this card difficult. It didn't work out of the box with my Windows XP machine. I found that I had to first download and update the firmware before the card started working. Finally, if you're using this with Windows Vista, you're out of luck. Netgear doesn't have drivers for Vista.

I got this card and the matching rangemax router, and both were up and running quickly, and are as fast as my wired connections. I did have some rough spots on the card installer and wizard, but with a little fiddling I was able to work it out. For the price (you can get the card and router together for a song on either Amazon or Tiger), I couldn't be happier. But given the number of people who have had problems w/ the wizard, I'd suggest it's best for people w/ medium to high knowledge of networking. For those folks, it's really hard to beat this deal. If you don't feel comfortable in manual configuration of wireless gear, I'd go with some other product.

I retruned the product to Amazon and have not yet received my credit for the return.The product did not work as advertised. Would not retain configuration across cold boots of the device. When ever there was a power failure I had to reconfigure the device. I had purchased two of them and both of them had the problem.The DDNS does not work. Netgear acknowedgeds the problem, however, they are not willing to put out a firmware release to fix it. Instead they suggested I purchase another one of their products which was less secure, but has DDNS that worked. This after nearly two weeks of dealing with technical support with speech that I could hardly understand and that did not even know about the DDNS feature.

I have a RangeMax 240 Router in our house that has performed well for a year. So I thought of buying a compatible adapter card (WPNT511) to maximize the performance. I followed the instructions, which is to load the software first, to install the card. When the installation prompted for card insertion, I followed and it froze the laptop. If I manually unplug the card, the computer would unfreeze (and even perform keystrokes I have had entered during the freeze). I thought the card was not compatible with my computer's particular setup. But when I tried it with a second laptop (completely different brand/setup) it freezes in the same way.So instead, I tried avoiding the software, and just use Windows to install the driver and manage the wireless. I got that to work maybe 5% of the time, the rest would result in the same freeze until I remove the card. After searching online, I found that I am not the only case experiencing this or similar problem with the product.I looked on NETGEAR's website and found that there are no firmware updates available since the initial release in 2005. Apparently, the card has been phased out in favor of the newer RangeMax NeXT series (including WN511B & WN511T).I would avoid this card and look at the newer, and probably better supported, RangeMax NeXT cards. If you could wait (and has it been a long wait) I'd suggest waiting till they ratify the 802.11n spec so that companies can start making inter-compatible adapters/accesspoints.

I am surprised at all the negative reviews about this router. I have had some dropped connections but far less than when I was using a Linksys router and the signal (range) on the netgear is much better. I am only in a 1000 sq ft apartment but couldn't get reception with the Linksys at one end of the apartment, with the Netgear it is not a problem at all. Set up was easy and I have been happily using it for about 9 months now.

I have had frequent blue screen crashes, with error messages that make reference to the WPN111 as the cause of the "stop error". Netgear customer support was virtually useless. I was told to download and install an updated driver, which I did, but the problem is still there. The crashes usually occur during large file downloads, but sometimes they occur almost randomly. There doesn't seem to be any obvious solution to this problem, and I will probably switch to another product instead.

A month ago I bought the Netgear WGT624 Version 2 wireless "Super G" router, on the basis that it was affordable and that Netgear had always given me good service. Having professionally installed networks in the past, I have always been happy with Netgear's commercial products and was expecting this one to be the same quality. The router was super easy to install and set up, their setup wizard was great, and when it worked, the router was blazing fast. I only got to use the cable connections, never got time to setup a wireless connection. As other reviewers have said, it was setup and running within five minutes of plugging it in.***CAVEAT*** - It worked GREAT for two days, then began to randomly drop the LAN connections, resulting in the dreaded "Network Cable Unplugged" message (search for "netgear wgt624 network cable unplugged" or search Netgear's forums for pages of similar complaints with no resolutions). This got worse, beginning at a few times per day, finally getting down to every few minutes - it now only worked a few times per day! After a week of swapping NIC's, cables, and confirming settings, I finally broke down and e-mailed Netgear tech support - who was kind enough to reply after two days with the same things I had already tried (confirm settings, hardware reset, update firmware, etc.), and a request for more detailed system info if the problem persisted. Even with the most current firmware release, it would not work reliably - so I sent them back every detail they had requested but got no response after a week.When I finally called them, I got their tech support department in India who confirmed that I was eligible for free tech support (they only offer it for 90 days from purchase, then you have to pay) and then began to go over the e-mails we'd swapped. After 10 minutes with no luck, he suggested that I try the Beta version of the firmware release, AND that this beta version would void my Netgear warranty. After making this suggestion, he said goodbye and hung up in the middle of the conversation. When I immediately called back to India, I got a different tech and was told that I was already out of the 90 day free tech support period (I bought the router a month ago mind you) and that I would have to pay for any support or to get the router replaced under the warranty. After some argument, he finally agreed to help me, but found that the router was indeed defective - and pointed out that there is a known problem with these particular models and he could not guarantee that a replacement would work any better.In order to get the router replaced under the warranty, I would have had to fax or mail my receipt to India (not a toll free #), and wait a week for them to confirm that my Router was within the warranty. After this was done, I would have to call them back and PAY for the "Extended Tech Support," since their computer showed that my router was out of the 90 day free support period (again, it was only a month old). If this return call to tech support proved that my router was defective, I would then get an RMA and have to either ship the defective router to India at my expense and wait three weeks for them to ship a refurbished replacement unit back, or pay them $30 to have a replacement shipped to me first, then ship the defective unit back to them at my expense.***SOLUTION*** - I returned the router and bought another brand. In searching the Internet, I found that the equivalent D-Link model (the DI-624) has strikingly similar problems so I bought a Linksys and have been happy thus far. I agree with the reviews that the Linksys is not quite as foolproof to set up, but it's worked great for two days now. We'll see.

Oh, how I wish I would have read all the reviews before buying this thing. I had a terrible time getting it to connect with my router, but eventually got it to work. I noticed the device ran quite hot (within in minutes of being plugged in), but foolishly ignored it. I left it on for 24 hours and came back to find my hard drive *and* motherboard blown. I can't pin it on Netgear's device, but it sure seems odd to me. After getting a new hard drive and a new motherboard, I am looking elsewhere to find a wireless Internet adapter. Save your $12.00! My little purchase cost me over $200.00, huge data loss, and a ton of time to reinstall it all.

I have this and use it with the matching router. I think if you do not have the matching router it may not be the right item. Many negative reviews, but few if any negatives with people using the matching net gear router. This is in my daughters walk in closet as far away from the router as can be and behind as many walls as in my house and still gets a signal strong enough to work. Just beware if you are using any other router than the net Gear wireless 824 V2. 4 star because it does disconnect about once a week.

Just purchased this router a week ago. It was recommended by a tech person. We have DSL service and needed a router that could handle three XBOX360s, a laptop, and a PC at the same time.Installation was a breeze. We were replacing an existing router and the wizrd walked us through the process in 20 minutes. No manual adjustments were required. Don't disconnect the existing router until instructed to.Range and performance improved dramatically. No longer have any 'lag' issues with XBOX Live. The blue light on top can be turned off. I have no problem with VPN access for work. Have not experienced any interruptions in service so far.

I have a Netgear router and this wireless USB adapter. I used the router WGT624 for several months just as a firewall directly hooked into my computer and never had any problems. A few days ago however I moved my computer and decided to use this USB card and have had nothing but problems since. Half the time on start up my computer will not be connected so I have to reboot. Sometimes multiple reboots and then it still doesn't work and I have to unhook everything, router, cable modem, etc. I don't know how or why this happens but it seems to make everything stuck and nothing can communicate again until I do this. This has happened several times so I am not imagining this. I try various things but ultimately I have to shut everything down and actually unplug the modem from the power source for a few seconds then start everything back up. I have cable and this is a procedure they have you do sometimes if things get locked up, usually when you have a bad connection. I didn't have to do this when it was just hooked into the router, but with this USB piece of junk I am doing it every day, sometimes several times a day. Then it shows a connection of like 55% and the router is in the very next room. That is with the door open, not 20 feet away. Even now as I sit here writing this the little computer on the task bar showing my connection has dropped to yellow. At least it hasn't changed red...........crap, just did, not freakin kidding! This is absolute junk which I would take back except I got it in a package deal with the router and I bought it a long time ago but never used it till now. When it does work it is quick. But WHEN is the key word there. Do yourself a favor, BUY SOMETHING ELSE! Don't corporations test this crap before they mass market it?!?

I have been using Netgear products for several years, and the FWG114P for over a year. I have about 20 of these in the field. They operate in extreme weather conditions (encased in polystyrene) as well as offices. It is currently my overall router of choice.PROS-Great all around router for the money-Easy to configure with lots of options-DHCP server is rock solid-Rubber Ducky antenna is removable with standard SMA connector-Supports VPN-Supports WEP and WPA-Works extremely well with wireless broadband internetCONS-Need to upgrade to latest version of software (1.07) if it's not already on there-Versions 1.03 and earlier have internet disconnect problems-Doesn't seem to play well with all versions of PPPoE (will drop internet connections even at latest version of software).-Have had some compatibility problems when using site blocking-Needs to be able to block by IP as well as site name/text stringsOverall I am very pleased with this router, although it doesn't seem to work in 100% of the situations. I'm not sure any of them do, actually.

I ordered this when I got a new Dell desktop and needed to connect with the wireless network in my home. It was easy to set up but that is the end of the good news.This adapter just randomly looses its connection to the network. In the space of one hour, it will loose its connection at least twice, if not three times. Reconnecting is no problem - I just click on Repair and it goes through the motions and connects back right away. I reinstalled it a few times but the same thing happens.This is a very irritating feature, especially when I am using Skype! I have had enough and I am ordering a new adapter from a different manufacturer!

I wish I had researched Netgear more thoroughly before I bought my wireless gear from them. I regret it. Despite good editorials, their products break down with astonishing regularity. My first WPNT511 was bad out of the box, the next one broke down in under a year. If that isn't bad enough, their scripted, plastic technical support seems to be designed more to deliver infuriating platitudes and block the customer from getting any meaningful resolution to their problem (that might cost Netgear an extra penny) than to be sincerely helpful.Consider this a "danger sign." You may choose to ignore it, but be ready for the consequences.

As a regular router, this is classic, beautiful, clean, and running well. BUt, once you start to be "wireless," that is, using the wireless rather than the wired connectivity, this router is very annoying. You lose connection for no reason. And you, all of a sudden, get it back. And, worse than all, you never understand WHY and HOW you lost (or gained back) the connectivity.Love wired (like me) then go for it. Love wireless? Forget about it.

This router is defective -- according to Netgear -- but unless you figure it out before your 1 year warranty expires they will not replace it and they have no intention of fixing it.I purchased this router over a year ago. At first, I was satisfied with its performance but after a while I noticed that the "random" network failures (or "disconnects") had a pattern to them. I figured out how to recreate the error consistently by using an ssh shell (like "telnet" if you aren't familiar) and scrolling over a large amount of text. (More recently, I have noticed that other conditions can cause failures, such as downloading a lot of small files at once -- such as the case when reading a blog or a myspace profile). These conditions cause failures due to regular usage and the only way to resume usage of the product is to physically walk over and unplug it and then plug it in again (to reboot it).Once I figured it out that the defect wasn't just my usage or something about my setup, I contacted Netgear support. After discussing it with a tech support representative he confirmed that the router was defective, that Netgear had no intention of fixing their defective product, and that because I was past the 1-year warranty period that they could not replace my product or provide any further assistance.I have purchased Netgear routers, bridges, and switches at work and at home for over 6 years. Considering this experience, I will avoid their products in the future.

This is the worst cardbus I never seen in my life. It's even worse than my old old cardbus. Can not connect to any of wireless, even I next to the router.

Hi,I just got off the phone to Netgear tech support.They informed me that the wireless card was slowing my PC down and dropping out because...It doesn't work with some AMD processors!!!!The tech guy told me to give the card back to the shop and buy something made by another manufacturer!I guess this explains why some people on amazon didn't have problems, while others have been tearing their hair out.What annoys me about this is that Netgear do not state that this product is only compatible with Intel processors anywhere on their website. I guess that leaving angry customers to figure it out for themselves is what they consider to be a professional way of doing business.I won't be doing business with Netgear ever again. There are plenty of other companies out there with a better attitude to sales.When googling "AMD Netgear problems" it turns out that the WPN311 isn't the only card with problems.Joel Green

All the support guys are trained to be nice, but they are not trained on the technology and are useless. After 3 weeks of waiting, calling, waiting, escalating, waiting, escalating, waiting, referred to engineering, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting. The product does not actually work with ISDN as advertised and no one at Netgear support has ever heard of ISDN.The device is really intended for a basic uncomplicated setup with Cable modem as the primary line and a regular modem as a dial backup or dial-in access method. For that, it seems OK.But for me, I'm packing it up and returning it because it doesn't actually work. Big disappointment. Lots of frustration.

I bought this at Radio Shack. It worked for a few days, reasonably well but not great. Then it just started losing the connection and having trouble re-connecting. I exchanged it for another and the same thing happened. Stay away.

One star is too many. Constantly drops connections, refuses to connect to secure networks. (Like Netgear's suggested fix. Just turn off wireless security. No seriously, that's their fix.)I've installed/supported wireless networks for over five years and this is the very first NIC that was just totally worthless. Works fine for 2-3 minutes and then stops dead.

Router is one of the fastest available. Great for P2P (BitTorrent, Kazaa, etc) applications. Almost everything works greatThe one thing that falls very short is the wireless capability. It works great only with wireless adapters that are from the same chip manufacture (Atheros chipset). When used with any other wireless chipset you may have a very hard time.This is not a surprise as all the other manufacturers such as Linksys, Dlink, Buffalo, Belkin that use the same exact wireless chipset have same problems (probably because of horribly written drivers). Upgrading the firmware helps a lot, especially if you have an Intel-based wireless adapter.Fortunetly or not, as mentioned other brands use the same wireless chipsets so if you buy any early 802.11N (all as of 2007) most likely will run into the same problems.

As soon as i added this to my XP machine - my RangeMax Router started freaking out and i had to reboot it twice a day (the least) - both of my adapters (WPN311 and WPN111) work great with a LinkSys router. Its a shame that Netgear products don't work with each other, when they are from the same like/package. Not very happy.

I bought the Netgear RangeMax router and the RangeMax USB adapter for a desktop on the second floor. The connection signal is constantly dropping. When I finally get some signal, it is always at "very low". Netgear claims that the range coverage is up to 500,000 feet. I have a 1000 square feet house; the signal is at "very low".The tech support is NOT helpful at all. After days of frustration, I am giving up. I will never buy Netgear product again. I would give it NEGATIVE FIVE STAR if I can on Amazon web site.Oh yeah, short Netgear stock!!! With crappy products like these, its shares go down further.

Snazzy. Bright. Pretty lights. Out-of-box simplicity. Beautiful start.Setting:Used as wired & wireless router & firewall.Router works OK. Firewall works OK. Wireless works good.Pros:Strong wireless signal, doubled distance of my prior high-end A/B/G wireless AP. Super easy Setup Wizard. Got wireless connection in about 5-minutes after unpacking.Cons:Can't have both Static & DHCP IP. One or the other, only. Configuration isn't logical, isn't solid & very slow. The more changes, the slower it gets. Password with symbols (Ex: $%^) confuses device into logging incorrect password -- had to reset back to factory default. Finally guessed what device wants my password to be! (NumLock, PadLock, FuncLock isn't issue here.) Port forwarding limited - limited number of entries (about 10?) & certain predefined port addresses (Ex 25) can't be modified. Excessive data transfers (Ex: IP cam video streams) over time will hang system weekly.Conclusion:For simple people who like simple setups, strong wireless signals, casual wireless connections, and decent protection. Not for advanced users looking for port forwarding, IP address flexibility, constant data transfers.Resolution:I want a single package wired & wireless router/firewall that's under $500 with signal reaching at least 3 average rooms (35'). Haven't found one yet. DLink, Linksys, Belkin, Airlink101, Netgear either couldn't make distance, failed, or had hardware limitation. Going back to old way: 2 device set-up, DLink DI-704* wired router (or DI-604*, DI-808HV works too) & Belkin N1 wireless. DLink router offers best in class WIRED router/firewall features. Belkin N1 offers best in class WIRELESS signal. Total cost for combo ~$230.Or, cough up about $2k for enterprise class single package wireless router. Saving my pennies....
