Отзывы о Wi-Fi усилитель сигнала (репитер) NETGEAR WN1000RP

Unit arrives with no directions, blacked out serial number and the wrong WWW to get instructions and software... kicks you over to a tech number that you have to pay for.

This thing loses the connection every 10 mins. Trying to use it with the xbox. Returning it ASAP as it is extremely frustrating.

Would have been a nice product at a nice price. But after a few hours that it's on, it (1) stops broadcasting SSID, and (2) no longer accepts wireless connection. Too bad - a lot of time wasted.

Great router I have never had a problem with it I'd have to say it's a flawless project. Very slick and sleek look

I bought this bridge/access point with a NetGear WNDR3300. I was formerly using an AirLink101 and Belkin router on the G-band of Wifi. I decided once I started streaming video and music to my XBOX360, while playing on-line multiplayer games, that an upgrade was needed to resolve lag.First, my iMac screams now. Before, even though the iMac was inches from the Belkin router and I have a cable modem, there was always a bit of a pause for common websites with good servers (Yahoo, Google, etc). The first benefit of this upgrade is there is NO pause on those pages now. Secondly, I turned on full encryption and left the NAT up for my game and it was lag free. I have yet to stream audio while playing.The WPS auto detect and configure feature didn't work for me, but it may be because I didn't completely follow their instructions correctly. For example, they say to connect the WNHDEB111 to the WNDR3300 __BEFORE__ turning it on. I read that instruction after having already turned it on while not connected. In essence, I wasted 90 minutes fooling with the auto-config before just doing what I planned on doing manually all along.So, here is what I did.1. Write down my MAC. I have a cable modem with Cox, who in the past locked accounts to a MAC address. Meaning, if you changed computers hooked up to the cable modem, you would have to call them to reset. Routers have a MAC clone feature to avert this inconvenience. I went into my OLD router and wrote down the "WAN MAC Address".2. Turn off old Router.3. Hook laptop up to new router (WNDR3300) with Cat5 cable and turned on the new router. Once laptop was up, manually configured it to 192.168.1.10 and entered "192.168.1.1" in Internet Explorer to hit the router's config page. I didn't use the router's provided CD at all.4. Configured router with MAC written down on step 1 (it's the last option for configuring WAN, "Use provided MAC"), turned on WPA2 + WPA (whatever the last option is) and put in a "passphase". After configuring the WAN MAC, the router reboots automatically and I also connected it to the cable modem at this point.5. Turn on iMac, let it self-discover the networks. The iMac (as well as Dell Laptop which later had it's WiFi turned on) will see TWO networks. It will see the N and G networks, which are easily identifiable by their default name given by NetGear. Even if you change the network name on the Router, you still saw Netgear...G and NetGear N. I just clicked on "N" and entered my passphrase.6. Just to double check step #5, turned on Dell laptop, selected "N" network on Wireless Utility (under control panel, and often an icon on the lower right corner where your time is).7. Surfed a little on both computers to just make sure connectivity was ok.8. Switch NetGear WNHDEB111 Wireless AP/Bridge from auto to "Bridge" mode. I know what I needed was a bridge, so after fooling with APS this is what ended up working.9. Connect laptop to NetGear WNHDEB111 Wireless AP/Bridge and reboot both. Put in the config disk that comes with the NetGear WNHDEB111 Wireless AP/Bridge. This is a critical step because the utility that launches on the disk will find the NetGear WNHDEB111 Wireless AP/Bridge, even though it's on a different subnet.10. The application will scan, find the NetGear WNHDEB111 Wireless AP/Bridge, and then say, "Would you like to change the IP?". I said yes and manually told it an IP address within the range of the WNDR3300 Router, "192.168.1.20".11. Go through the manual configuration pages for the wireless security and enter the passphrase you used to configure the WNDR3300. Also, using a static IP didn't seem to work (it did on the Belkin/Airlink combo), and so I ended up being forced to using DHCP to configure the WNHDEB111 IP/Subnet/Gateway.12. Rebooted everything (yeah, probably not necessary but this way I know after a power outage/restoral everything will come up clean), and double checked laptop physically connected (Ethernet cable, with WiFi turned off) could surf and resolve its own IP address from DHCP server.13. Unplug NetGear WNHDEB111 Wireless AP/Bridge and walk over to XBOX360 to install. Plugged in power, and Ethernet. Turned on XBOX360 and changed to "Automatic" network configuration (IP/Sub/Gateway) since again, static IPs didn't work. SIDENOTE: My Belkin seemed to work ok with static IPs that hadn't been assigned by the router's DHCP, but the NetGear router doesn't seem to tolerate it, even with the NAT filter turned off.14. Ran network tests (XBOX360 will force you to do this), and then played a few games of Gears of War 2 lag free.A few notes to add. When I tried assigning the XBOX360 as a DMZ, the 360 instantly complained about moderate NAT filtering. This is even with strict NAT filtering turned off. It also seemed unhappy when I turned off UPnp. Universal Plug and Play is a notoriously "dirty" feature to leave on because it creates a lot of unnecessary traffic to support auto-discovery. I

I purchased this router because comcast suggested it. It was a nightmare of hours and hours. I hooked it up, it worked for a couple hours then it couldn't find the modem. I did all I could then called netgear.I got someone who had english as a second language, was on the phone for over an hour, hard to understand this person, but it appeared that we got it working. I hung up, then it stopped again in less than an hour. This went on for seven phone calls all lasting a minimum of an hour. They could not make it work consistently, they would not authorize a return and they were difficult to understand. Finally I just called Amazon. As always, Amazon was wonderful. They immediately credited my account and sent out a mailing label. I then bought a linksys, it was the easiest installation imaginable, put in the disk, click a couple keys and it installs itself and it works perfectly. The cashier at Best Buy the other day told me she sees a number of netgears come back, but seldom sees a linksys router returned.

Initially the product worked well. The setup was fairly straightforward as far as routers go, and it increased my bandwidth by over 4MBS. It also allowed my multitude of network equipment to operate as plug and play without specifically opening obscure ports.However, I was disappointed with the VPN features. My intend was to use it to encrypt my internet connection at free wifi locations, but after reviewing many forums determined the IPSec wasn't compatible with Apple iOS devices. Although documentation was sparse and I have limited knowledge with VPNs so it could have been user error.Another minor annoyance was how it handled web servers. If I attempted to access my local server via domain name on my LAN, the router would interpret that as trying to access the device itself for remote administration instead of passing the access to the server. It didn't adversely affect the server otherwise, but it did create a lot of confusion on my part as I thought my website was down.But the ultimate reason I returned the device was that it would randomly stop NAT routing. I tried adjusting the DHCP lease time and assigning static IPs for internal devices to no avail. In the first day I owned it, the router failed 4 times regardless of what settings I used.Overall the router has potential, and I can forgive shortcomings, but when I spend over $100 for a router that doesn't route...well that defeated the whole purpose of the purchase. I do not recommend this product.

It's been a long time coming, getting everything *just so* on my home network, and the Netgear WNHDEB111 - 100NAS Wireless N Access Point has been a perfect finishing touch. I use this device specifically for my PS3 because the built-in wireless connection on the PS3 is too slow to properly stream high-resolution media, and my physical connection to the Internet is too far away from the PS3 to use a cable.The way this product is designed, it's actually just a bundle of two identical Access Points (APs). However these APs are smart: when you plug the first one into your Router, it says, "I am an Access Point" and starts sending out a signal. When you plug the second one into another device (such as my console), it says, "I am a Bridge" and starts looking for the first. They find each other, handshake, and all is good--easy as pressing a button (details below).I've not logged a ton of hours on the Netgear yet, but here's what I can tell you:- My neighborhood is drowning in a ridiculous number of wireless networks of all types. This setup is designed to dedicate the unit that is connected on my PS3 to the unit that is connected to the Router--in effect, this means ignores all the outsiders. It can be secured to prevent nosy neighbors from tapping it as well.- Many people who bought the unit earlier had lots of problems with signal strength. I am pleased to say that the problem appears to be fixed: my wireless signal has to cross the house, pass through 2 walls, a floor and my TV, and ignore the 5N band I already have on my router in order to get to the PS3, tuning out the neighbors along the way. I used this unit out of the box, with no need for firmware updates, and I have a strong signal with no dropouts.- Setup really was one of the simplest things I've ever had to do: 1) Connect one adapter to your router but don't plug it on or turn it on. Make sure the switch on the back of it is set to "Auto" 2) Connect the other adapter to your device (in my case, the PS3) but don't plug it in or turn it on. Make sure the switch on the back of it is set to "Auto" 3) Plug in the first adapter and turn it on. 4) Plug in the second adapter and turn it on. 5) Press the button on the front of the first adapter, then step over to the second adapter and press the button on it.Within less than a minute, they locked on to each other and were ready to go. Amazing. I've pushed it to its limits, using multiple large HD videos on my home server (one of which came from a PAL DVD) and making it fast-forward, rewind, and jump back and forth at different speeds: it behaves just like a DVD would if it were in the player, with no hiccups or freezes waiting on the network to catch up. I can't wait to try gaming!If you have an older Wireless Router that's not N-speeds, this pair will give that router N-speed access for all the devices on your network. The additional AP can take a slower device and give it a nice fast upgrade that is easy to use. As an added bonus, both devices have a second Ethernet plug, allowing you to physically connect a second device if you wish. If you have a newer N router, the Netgear does a nice job of mapping around it. What this means in my case is that my LinkSys WRT610N gives variable-speed access to anything I want it to, up to N. Then I have a high-speed 5N network for my newest machines...and thanks to the Netgear, I have an entirely separate high-speed channel that can stream to my TV uninterrupted and with no traffic.

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!

Always bought Belkin but gave this one a try. Plug n play for creating home network. No disappointments! Good basic router.

Cons:* Only 1 of the 4 ports works reliably. the 3 bad ports either don't connect at all, or worse do sometimes and then days later stop working.* Last only 1 yearPros:* Easy setup* Many options

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.

There are some small scratches and the WPS light stays on all the time even though I have tried to get it to turn off. It was well packaged and seems to work fine.

Great product at a great price. I would deal with again in a heartbeat. My Netgear connection is up and running and was easy to install. Thank You

Easy to setup looked like new only thing missing was the stand clips. I would recommend people to buy refurb router instead of new as this thing is untouched once setup is done.

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.

netgear wnr1000 wireless router is a good product very easy setup it took me about ten minutes to set it up has a nice range good for me i like this product.

Just had this delivered and had to set it up on a notebook computer.The installation was textbook easy,just followed prompts and it did the rest.To be honest I set this up on a Netgear router because I wanted product compatibility which it had and I do not regret buying this at all.Running Windows Vista so hopefully anybody else with same will have no worries.

I wanted to be wireless throughout my home.So i purchased this router, I turned all computers off and hooked up the router and modem and upon restarting pc windows recognized it and let start using the NET in just a few minutes (5-10)!!!!!It's nice to be able to use your internet connection all through your home!!....Works for me and i love it....
