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

Great product. Great price. Got it in an attempt to create a wireless bridge and extend my wireless reach. Won't quite work, but its a way better router than I had.

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 was nervous about buying a refurbished product. But Amazon and Netgear have come through again. The router works flawlessly, and was a nice upgrade for my family.

It works great easy set up. Fast works in every room of the house. I am very pleased with this purchase.

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.

I've got to have my laptop to play games when I'm on vacation and kicking back in the motel in the evening. That usually requires a connection to Steam or Origin. My internal adapter fried after two weeks into a three week trip. Like some others who have reviewed this, I got it at Staples for about $26. The mini CD install was quick and easy and the adapter went right to work finding the best available connection. Of course, that's usually the motel's complimentary wireless but I'm posting this from a Hampton Inn via a Borders connection from a bookstore a couple of blocks away. This should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with the wireless service at the Hilton family of hotels. If this happens to you, don't forget to go into Device Manager and disable the internal adapter.

I got this modem as a last-ditch effort to fix some speed problems with my ISP, as well as to upgrade to a wireless-n network.The signal strength is fantastic, the setup could not have been simpler, and our download speeds improved markedly over the old modem (which was probably a piece of junk). To be clear, this modem probably won't improve most people's speeds, but the reason we saw an improvement was because we replaced an old, low-quality, and probably defective modem with this one, which works perfectly.For customers in the U.S. this is a good modem for the price. Canadian customers will have to deal with a much higher price, but if you can get it on sale I highly recommend it.

I've seen several reviews about dropped signal and things like that, but I personally haven't experienced any problems with this adapter. It was very easy to install and connect to my network. As far as I've noticed, it hasn't dropped a signal yet. Overall, I think this was a great purchase!

I bought this router 1.5 years back replacing another Netgear router which died without any notice. This router worked very well until 2 days back when It stopped giving out net connection. The lights on the router come on well but cannot connect to the web through the router. When it does it picks up only static ISP connection and asks for the numbers to input manually. I have rebooted it several times.Tech support is lousy and they are only after money. They wanted me to cough up 79.99$ for support but a new router can be bought at half this price.I would appreciate any help from expert users. But after this - NEVER will buy another Netgear product again!

Its working fine just as a new one. Installation was also easy. I recommend this service to others ad well

I got this router at the end of March and until I bought a new laptop in late July, it worked great. It worked for approximately 3.5 months. I am lucky if the laptop can access the internet one hour out of the day. And not all in one whack. Do not waste your money on this cheap router. Do some research and buy one that is better quality. That is what I am doing now.

I purchased this unit secondhand for a fraction of the price. Initially, it worked well! I had great speed (close to my ISPs) limit. Like other reviewers, I noticed that it ran hot. I've designed electronics in the past, so I was REALLY suspicious, generally, if it's hot on the outside, it's probably doing damage on the inside. I noticed that the sticker on the back was discolored with brown edges which was probably due to heat. I didn't think much of it until today, when my connection suddenly slowed down to a crawling pace. Here's the workaround I came up with...Usually, heating issues are resolved with a heatsink. If you've ever opened up a computer case, you've probably seen it; it's that big ol' hunk of aluminum with a fan on it. So I figured, why not make my own heatsink out of a sheet of aluminum? In order to do that, I took the unit apart by unscrewing it. The screws can be found underneath the legs which can be taken off by hand. I used the circuit-board as a template for where to drill in the sheet metal. After drilling, I bent the sheet metal at one end so that it was L shaped, when viewed from the side so that the unit could stand up; I figured it'd be better for the unit to stand to improve ventilation. Lastly, I found longer, substitute screws to screw everything back together. Note that the heatsink is now on the back of the unit. It's not as close to the components as I'd like, but it's a quick work around.With luck, this'll be all that I need to do to keep the unit working; otherwise, I'll update if I had to replace it.

I have used 12 of these adapters and they all have worked well. They are compact and easy to program. I would use them again.M Carlson

I bought this to use when my wifi network adapter stopped working. After following the instructions, I was going wireless again. The low profile USB dongle is nice. For the money it's an excellent product.

Love the router, quick set up, fast speeds and very stylish. I would recommend it if your looking for something fast & simple.

I never post reviews but I had to post one for this adapter. I currently have a Lenova G550 laptop. The internal wireless card quit working in it so I have been messing with different wireless USB adapters. I currently run Lubuntu 12.04 on the laptop and it has been nothing but a pain getting wireless adapters to work with it. I hate messing with wireless adapter drivers. Well, this adapter is the only adapter I have gotten to work plug n play style. I did not have to use a cd or driver. I have tested it with other Linux distros on other laptops and it works just as well.If your looking for a wireless card that works easily with Linux, I suggest this one.

The NETGEAR N300 wireless router is a very very good product. A cable network employee introduced it to me. It's easy to install (especially for one who doesn't know much about high tact product like me). Also your company 's efficient service is highly appreciated. Thank you !

This unit was purchased for a Dental Office. Standard antenna has good range.Setup was easy, configuration was a breeze. Offers reasonable security for small business WiFi.

I purchased my WNR3500L router because it had a 1 year warranty. Router did not get set up with set up disc. I spent over 4 hours on the phone with technical support having them tell me there was a software problem which they were trying to fix and could not. Tech support representatives did not speak English well and it was very difficult to understand them. I attempted to escalate case to a supervisor which the representative would not do for me. I had to call back a second time to speak to a supervisor who could also not get it to work. Next morning I exchanged the router at the store and it worked right away. (So much for it being a software problem!) I did need to call technical support to get help with security settings which took about another 45 minutes. The router worked well for 4 months then stopped working. I called technical support who told me once again I had a software problem and that I would have to pay $69 for a 6 month service contract or $99 for a one year service contract to receive help. I complained that the router came with a 1 year warranty. They told me that the warranty was only on the hardware not the software. I explained that after only 4 months they wanted to charge me more for a service contract than I paid for the router. I attempted to escalate my situation to supervisors and Customer service to no avail or satisfaction. The next morning I purchased a Cisco Linksys which I was able to get set up in 10 minutes!

Owned this router for 3 years!Guess I am a lucky customer; as this router has poor ratings. I like mine!I have the interest & $ to buy the best hardware, so I was thinking of buying a "better" router. Instead, I bought two ASUS PCI- wireless adapters capable of 300 Mbps.Now, I do not use the CAT-5 cable to router ports.I run wireless mode to 2 desktops and occasional laptop. My primary desktop in 2 ft. from the router.It runs at 270 Mbps; cable was 130 Mbps. The other PC, one floor down, runs at 270 Mbps, as I also swopped out the PCI adapter for the same ASUS device.Bought the 2 ASUS on sale for $35. ea. free ship.So try being positive & install an excellent wireless adapter & stop faulting the Netgear modem/router.Hot, so what. I don't use it to cook.Works so well I will wait for my ISP to provide the speed for the newer 450 Mbps speeds; then those routers will drop in cost.Best to you all,Jim

Everytime I purchase a product, my biggest concern will always be - does it work as advertised? And if it doesn't, how does the company (including customer support) address the issues? I would advise that before you buy one, to check not only customer reviews but also their feedback in dealing with the company's customer support area. Of course you cannot please every customer and not everyone has the same technical aptitude in using a product, but reading reviews regarding reliability of the product itself and how the company is addressing it in general is always a great idea.For the physical look of the product, I'm happy with the direction Netgear is going - a slim, vertical product like a book-end rather than the usual horizontal arrangement where you end up stacking all other components on top of each other. This design is smarter for a product that has no external antenna.(As comparison, I have been using an Apple AirPort Extreme router also with an internal antenna and I elevate it on higher ground in order to get better coverage across the home. Although I have had no problems with the wireless coverage of the Apple Base Station, I would assume this uses a lot more power to provide a stronger signal).With Netgear WNR2000, the vertical setup allows a bit more wireless coverage and hopefully less power. Case in point the product has gone green as well and even includes a power switch.Anyway, the router comes with the power supply, a snap-on stand for that vertical arrangement, an ethernet cable to get you hooked up to your modem, and a CD that contains the Smart Wizard installer for Windows users.Rather than the usual generic blinking lights, the front display has an etched out graphic from top to bottom indicating that there is power, an internet connection has been established, a wireless connection has been established, a wired ethernet port is connected, and a WPS-capable device is connected.The back panel has (again from top to bottom) a reset switch, the four ethernet ports (LAN), a ethernet WAN port to connect to the modem, a power button to finally allow you to shut down completely the device, and the power outlet.It takes minutes to set up and connect especially if you've opted to use the Smart Wizard installation CD. Otherwise, from a Mac user perspective it's easy to get up and running by connecting to the router via your favourite browser (Safari, Firefox, etc). You simply enter the supplied user name and generic password (change the password so no one can hack into your system and change the settings soon enough).Once inside, the router checks for updated firmware (which I strongly suggest getting the latest) and after an update you can now continue to adjust settings as needed. If you don't know what settings to use, I would suggest the default first until you know how to enhance performance or fix a problem.PROS:1. Easy set up and configuration right out of the box2. Sleek, simple and elegant design3. Respectable price to obtain Wireless-N performance4. No protruding and unsightly plastic antenna sticking out that looks like an old TV box5. Automatic Firmware upgrade checking6. Energy Star Partner / Netgear Green productCONS:1. 2 internal antennas (versus 8 internal antennas for the RangeMax line)2. NO GIGABIT wired ethernet connection. For a little bit more, you can get the WNR3500 with greater wireless coverage and faster wired speed (if your computer supports it, of course)3. Hit and miss quality and longevity per user feedback here and elsewhere4. Hit and miss customer support including attitude and price for after-sales warranty service5. Should already be half-price due to the existence of a better Netgear RangeMax product line6. A wireless printer support via USB port would be niceBOTTOMLINE:If you're only just investing in a Wireless-N router, I would get the RangeMax WNR3500 version for just a little bit more. If you're shady about reliability and customer service, I would look into Belkin reliability as well. Another more expensive option, I haven't actually had any problem with my Apple AirPort Extreme even including my patronizing their previous units. Reliability, longevity and customer support is on par with a company that cares as well as protects their product and its image. (Your mileage will of course vary depending on the customer personnel handling your call that day).For overall reliability and product longevity, I would honestly recommend an Apple Extreme Base Station. However, for a solid PC user who constantly is on the edge of technology and tweaks the performance then a Netgear or Belkin is best.As for this Netgear WNR2000, if this is within your budget and intend to operate it on a relatively small or wide-open space then I can't argue with the price.I would actually give 2 stars for an average feature and performance including a poor and outdated 10/100 ethernet feature as well as no wireless USB printer port. But the neat design, energy-effic
