This has been a great, reliable little router. We generally have 4-8 devices on it at a given time in our two bedroom, single story apartment. It's not quite as fast as Ethernet, but the speed drop is pretty unnoticeable most of the time, even with streaming video. Would definitely recommend this product.

I am pleasantly surprise about the speed and quality of this router. To think I bought a router in store for $55 dollars and its was not nearly as fast or as good as this one! Im so happy with my new router! Yay!

In making the WNR2000, Netgear has been ambitious; creating a low-cost, reliable wireless router that provides several operating modes; working as a standard wired router, as an advanced wireless base station using the cutting-edge wireless `N' standard while maintaining backwards compatibility to the tried-and-true 802.11-g standard. Netgear bundles all this together with simple setup, control and security and adds convenience features that make it something special.Pros and consPros: Very good speedRobust wireless connectionLaughably easy setupVery easy to secureSimple, web-page-based controlsThe incredible off-switchCons: Non-finalized standard for full, 802.11-n performanceGetting the full, extraordinary, `N' standard speed and range requires additional equipmentThe fun stuffSetupI have setup wired networks but I had no prior experience in setting up a wireless one. I had no trouble setting up the WNR2000.Installing the WNR2000 requires that you install its control software on at least one computer in your network to control and use the router *before* you hook up the unit. This is the only thing you have to worry about and it is simplicity itself: if you can read and move your hands, you can do it, but Netgear has taken the trouble of taping over the connectors with a warning label for those who are feeling too frisky to follow instructions that day.It went surprisingly well. As I was installing it, I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop but it never did. The installation really was a matter of following directions that boiled down to: "insert disk, install software, attach router and turn it on." I followed the steps and, presto, it was up and running.There was an uncomfortable moment when I found that my test model had come without a paper manual (I needed an initial username and password) and I experienced about 30 seconds of `uh-oh' before I went to Netgear's website and downloaded the PDF of the manual.If you *do* feel that frisky and get tangled up, Netgear provides help-line numbers. How good are their support-lines? I have no idea: The setup was too easy for me to need them.ControlLike all routers I've had experience with, the WNR2000 uses a, web browser-based control system. You type an address into your web browser and a page opens on your machine that handles the router's controls. The webpage's menus give you the options you need for upgrades security and control.Here, there was one problem: giving the router a new password was there in the menus, but I couldn't change my username, big deal. After the initial setup, menus take you through security where you can limit user access to offensive websites and establish the degree of security that makes you comfortable. This, too, is simple with options that go from, `we're open: come on down!!" to 128-bit paranoia.Speed and rangeThe Netgear WNR2000 is fast. Even without going the full 802.11-n route, the unit seemed, `felt,' faster in its 100Mb/s wired mode than my own router. During the late-night hours of optimum internet access, pages sometimes screamed onto the screen. I was very surprised by the unit's performance.Much the same thing was true even when I reconfigured the network and ran the unit through my original router. It still seemed that I had very good speed even though it was no longer running directly off the cable modem: strange but true. I have no idea why this is so.Its wireless performance was no less impressive. Wireless routers function best (and, I would bet, are usually tested) across big expanses of open air with unobstructed line of sight between receivers--in other words, in situations where you could shine a laser-pointer from the router to whatever it's attached to. That isn't how things work in the real world. In the real world, things get in the way. I live on the second floor of an apartment building. I went downstairs and out the door and connected; fine and dandy.That would have been enough for everything that I do, but then I went across the avenue--that is, across four lanes of traffic--and I was still connected. This was jaw-dropping. The signal was diminished, yes, but not only was I standing a good seventy to eighty feet distant, but the direct line-of-sight between my ipod and the router now pointed through two layers of brick wall! Suffice it to say that I was again impressed.The two buttonsThe Netgear WNR2000 has two buttons on it, one on the front and another on the back. The first is a connect button that the documentation says allows you to connect new machines to the network by sending them a timed invitation from the router. Sounds great, but doing things manually works fine and gives you both control and understanding. I didn't bother trying to figure it out.The second button is very, very, very cool: it's an off switch, as in `wow! It's an off switch!!' It is also proof positive that Netgear has thought outside the box when designing the WNR2000.Routers are designed to go up and be left running f

It's not that the router sucks - the router works fine. But this is a >VPN< router with ZERO netgear support for VPN. You cannot find the VPN client software on the website - it's a dead link. After locating the client software there's no serial number or "buy" option - it's a dead link. I'm currently on hold for 20 minutes with tech support from an off-shore call center with unintelligble english. Netgear is clearly not serious about their customer service. Buy Linksys.

My Nephew has this so we thought we would buy this also. I just love it. Hurray we are wireless now and it looks great next to our computer. I love that it has a button to restart if the net goes off. There are times that happens but so far only once and we have had it for two months now. I called Netgear because I was not sure how to hook it up and they were great. They even helped me with my laptop and wireless printer. We like the colored lights on the sides so it's easy to tell when the net is up. It has a soft blue light in the center, we love the looks of that and plenty of ports if we needed them, it's light weight and so easy to move. We just popped the feet on it and it stands easily.The color is pretty it looks like white leather.We are delighted with the service and would recommend this to anyone who wants something good looking on there desk.

So far so good. We gave up on CenturyLink (Qwest) and this refurbished DGN2000 model is working better than any of their recommended $90 to $150 modems and/or tech support. One CAUTION . . . ours did not come with a "Smart Wizard CD" which contains the instruction manual and "follow the screen" set-up process. You'll have to go online, download, then enter modem settings through 192.168.0.1. which I did not find difficult. Again, so far so good.

If you're looking for the convenience of a Wireless-N router and DSL modem in one box, the Netgear DGND3300 might seem like a fine choice. This device is easy to set up, is extremely user-configurable, and looks really cool sitting near your computer. Wireless range was very good, and I was able to get all my wireless devices connected to it without a problem. I was extremely (five stars) pleased with it until the tenth month of ownership, when it abruptly quit working. It still powered up, and the router functions still worked, but the internal DSL modem had completely failed."No problem," I thought, after confirming with another DSL modem that my internet connection was working properly, "I have a one year warranty; I'll get an RMA and send it to Netgear for repair or replacement."Oh boy, was I mistaken. You see, Netgear's one year warranty only covers hardware, not tech support or software. When I spoke to the tech in the overseas call center, he claimed that the product was not defective, that there was a "simple communications problem" and that he could fix it -- for $69.99, the cost of six months of phone tech support. In fact, he refused to even start the troubleshooting process that is required before they will issue an RMA until I paid the $70 fee. Netgear has free e-mail support, but you cannot get an RMA through it, only via phone support. Net result is that the one year warranty is meaningless once you're past the 90 day free tech support limit unless you want to pay them a substantial amount of money.Incidentally, I've been using modems since the Hayes Smartmodem 1200 days, and I know the difference between a "simple communication problem" and broken equipment. The modem part of this modem/router is dead. It is deceased. It is an ex-modem, and unless I can convince Netgear to send me new or refurbished one to replace it, I will no longer be purchasing Netgear products for either my home or my business. I am aware that products sometimes fail, but I will not do business with a company that deliberately misleads me about their warranties.

This review is to offset the ridiculous one that was written because someone didn't read the description of the item before purchasing.Listen "Brain Trust," if an item is being sold for literally HALF what everyone else is selling new ones for, you should have an inkling that it MIGHT just be a refurb.This is a good reliable router that works as advertised. I get reliable connections and phenomenal range for all my Android devices (3), wi-fi laptop and Roku HD Player and Dish Hopper DVR.No complaints whatsoever.

This is a great router and is easy to set up out of the box. These people complaining about the fact that it does not come with a CD seem to not notice that it is REFURBISHED. Even beyond that, you do not need the software to set it up. You plug the cable from your modem(or other router)into the wan port then power it on. Type in [...] in your browser, default login and password is admin/password. Make your changes and it's running.The software and manuals are available on netgears web site. If it is that difficult for you to set up you need to find someone to help you. This thing is a piece of cake.

I have been pleasantly surprised with this extender. My WNDR3700 is in the basement next to a large metal work bench and under a lot of metal piping. All of this interference creates a deadzone on the other side of the first floor in the two bedrooms. The house is wired, but this is really annoying for iPads and laptops. I was considering running some longer CAT5e and putting the router in the middle of the basement on a wall, but I tried this extender first.It's a much more expensive solution than $6/50' of CAT5e (monoprice.com), but I also wanted to extend the WiFi out into the backyard. I plugged the WN3000RP into the wall, waited for the green ready light, pressed the WPS button on the WNDR3700, held down the WPS button on the WN3000RP, and the connection was made. I had a new network named MySSID_EXT with the same security and passphrase.I tested it out with INSSID on my laptop and my WiFi Analyzer app on my phone. I wandered the house checking the signals. In the bedroom I had a very weak signal from the router(or no signal)and an excellent signal from the extender. In the backyard, I had no signal from the router and a still excellent signal from the extender. Speed tests showed no real difference in speed, but Netgear says you should expect some reduction in speed. It could impact video streaming or file sharing, but I haven't noticed any issues.I would really like to see an extender like this that supports 5Ghz, but 2.4 is just fine for what I needed. I also don't have a lot of other networks nearby.The house is 1,700 sq. feet on the first floor and the extender provides a signal everywhere. The backyard is fairly small, but I can go about 75' to my patio and still have an excellent signal (that's about 140' from the extender through a wall. The extender is placed at the edge of the deadzone, as Netgear says it should be.

Well, I didn't buy this from here, but it finally died. I got it in 2007 and it worked well, then this year it started dropping the internet. I used a Siemens Cable Modem/Router/Wireless Access Port for over 8 years but had to 'put it to pasture' when I got Time Warner's telephone service and had to use their modem.I added this router when my computers/IP Cam started multiplying on me and I needed more wired ports. This was the only All-in-One at the time that had more than 4 ports. (yes I could have used a switch/hub but how many pieces of equipment do you want laying around)At first I thought my ISP was having issues when it would drop the 'net I would reset their modem and unplug my router (no power switch) wait, plug in and go for another month. Then more and more I would lose the 'net and I found if I just plugged a computer into the modem, everything was fine. So from then on I would just unplug the router and it would work for a bit longer 3-4 weeks and lose the 'net again. When I lost the 'net again, this time I reset the router (Which sucked, because I forgot to save the settings and port forwarding was a b&^cH) and that brought the 'net back, but once again, only for a few weeks. The outages were starting to be closer together, so I went to Netgear's site and grabbed the firmware (same version, no update) and I flashed the router. This didn't make much difference in time between outages.Last Friday night, I totally lost the Internet, no amount of unplugging, resetting, flashing would bring it back to life. I could go to the configuration page 192.168.0.1 and play all day with the settings, reset the router etc. but no 'net.I finally popped to a store (can't wait for mail order when you have no net!) and bought this;Belkin N1 Vision Wireless Router (F5D8232-4) I think it's the same, I'll have to check when I get home...And the Belkin is working fine at the moment. I have it set to WEP (Yes I know WAP is better blah blah, I don't care). WEP is just fine, it keeps people from accidentally connecting to me and people don't just drive by my place it's not that easy to do. And the neighbors in the range of my N1 frankly probably don't care. I do let a neighbor in front of me use the wireless and he said my old Netgear gave him 3 bars and this new Belkin gives him 5 bars and lets his iphone connect now.Pros;8 Ports!Strong metal boxFair range. in my bungalow, I never had a 'bar' problem, but my neighbor only got 3 bars, new router gives him 5Cons;It broke after 3'ish years. 3 years? Not including my Siemens router that ran solid for 8 years, I have 2 others that work just fine (Linksys and Zoom?)No off switch - sometimes you just gotta turn 'em off

I purchased this router for my 92-year-old father, who is very savvy and capable (his career was in computers, but 35 years ago.) While the router works well, the lack of instructions was somewhat disconcerting, including a basic hookup schematic would be helpful.

I bought this router as to replace a D-Link 150 that failed within a week of operation.So far the Netgear 150 functions fine. For some reason, this router works better with all my laptops when the router is horizontal rather than vertical.Not sure of the reason. Possibly because the router, in the vertical position, picks up less noise from nearby plug in switching power supplies for the cable modem and the OBI 100. One of my laptops can alternate between two operating systems, (both Linux) with one wireless driver more sensitive to noise than the other and the more robust one connected with the router in the vertical connection whereas the more sensitive one did not.After placing the router horizontally all laptops connected without any problems.One feature which I like is that the Netgear Router has a push button in the back to switch of the wireless signal , with the 4 LAN ports remaining functionalI prefer to do electronic banking with the wireless off (never mind that WAP2 is supposed to be secure) running a cat 5 cable from one of the routers LAN ports to my laptop.
