We got this router with our Cox internet bundle, and it has been a disaster. The WNR1000 has extremely poor range, and is not suitable for anything larger than about 700 sq ft. The router also drops connections almost daily, requiring frequent reboots. This is unacceptably bad performance compared to similarly priced routers from Cisco and even Belkin that I have used.

I was looking to upgrade my old 2wire DSL modem/wireless router, and this model had all the right specs for me. Of particular interest was the Network attached storage, and the Live Parental Controls offered via OpenDNS. Unfortunately, the fact that this model wouldn't cooperate with my ATT DSL for more than a few hours at a time was a deal breaker.Kudos to Netgear, they provided the ATT (as well as other DSL provider) phone numbers to call to get my username/password for my DSL account. I hadn't changed it for over 6 years, and a 20 minute phone call with ATT got me all the info I needed to get the Netgear router setup. Their wizard setup the PPPoE account and settings without any problems, and I was up and running with internet after about 45 minutes.Then the problems started. I've been a user of OpenDNS for a while, so I'm familiar with their settings. I followed the LPC guidelines, and basically set the default filtering level to "high" which blocks a lot of stuff (Yahoo email, YIM, etc.). I then created two bypass accounts; one for "Grownups" and one for "Kids," and installed the Netgear/OpenDNS client on all the windows machines in the house. But no matter how many times we re-booted the winXP or win7 machines, no matter how many times I re-logged into the Netgear/OpenDNS client as a "Grownup" the default filter overrode the bypass, and I couldn't get anywhere.Needless to say my wife was pretty upset after a couple of hours of not being able to read the NYTimes, or get to pretty much anything. I backed down the OpenDNS filter to "Moderate" or "Low" (can't recall anymore, I changed it enough times) and we had internet for the rest of the evening.Then I woke up the next morning, and the internet connection was dead. Hmm, I thought. That's weird. It was working okay last night. So I tried all the standard diagnostics. Looked at all the lights on the front of the router. Wireless was fine. DSL connection was fine, Internet light was red. I tried various ways to get the Router to re-login to the ATT internet account. I even got it connected about 10 times, but each time it would lose the connection, drop it's IP address, and turn the Internet light red after anywhere from 1 minute to 5 minutes.I checked with ATT, and they didn't find anything wrong on their end, so I pulled the Netgear out, put my old 2Wire back in place, and we were back up in running.If anyone can recommend a device that has all these features, but actually works with an ATT (formerly SBCGlobal / PacBell) DSL line reliably, then please let me know. Otherwise, I guess I'll look into NAS storage, and some other way to restrict my kids to homework-internet from 3pm-7pm.

I've had the router for six months. The router started loosing all of the wireless attached devices periodically. so much for wireless printing. After a couple of reboots, it usually came back. Enter the firmware upgrade. I thought this might solve the problem. After the firmware upgrade which installed perfectly, things started to get really ugly. The new administration client is pretty, but I can't log out. The computer I logged into the admin client with can only go to the admin client. You can't log out, no matter what web address I put in. It always returns to the admin client. The wireless internet no longer works, but the wired internet access works fine. Go figure. I had to go to back to my old wireless router after hours of frustration. The older model works fine. Netgear needs to get it's act together on firmware upgrades. So much for quality control. This is totally unacceptable! DO NOT DO THE FIRMWARE UPGRADE!

I've been struggling with this modem for over a year, and it has finally gotten so bad that I've had to convince my company to get something else. Wifi drops erratically, and at best it has poor signal strength. Also, this thing gets hot enough to cook eggs on! I have taken to using a small fan blowing on it in an attempt to keep it cool.I have a Netgear router on my home network, and it has worked well for a long time. I can't understand how they could allow a piece of junk like this to go out with their name on it.

I recieved the router on time - Amazon prime delivery is always on time. The router was packed with the plastic like it was brand new. I set it up and was running it on my network within 5 minutes. It works flawlessly. I have several Netgear routers - they are a great buy.

Item seems fine, working for a few weeks without problems. Probably worth what I paid for it. Replaced a Belkin that I was having to reset every day. The signal of this unit is a little weaker than the Belkin (the computer is showing 1 less bar through out most of the house) perhaps because the Belkin had external antennas. I knew it would be refurbished, but I was a little surprised at how scratched up the case is. A little irritated that it came with no manual or quick start guide. Or maybe something that at least says what the default username/password is so that I can see the help that is part of the built-in WEB interface. Even a highly abbreviated quick start guide would have been nice. But instead they have a small slip of paper saying to go to the Netgear WEB site for manuals and documentation. The URL was NOT specific to the product, just the general Netgear WEB site. Had to find 'downloads' in the support section, find the product and product version (there are 3 manuals for 3 different versions). But the bigger problem is that I bought the router so that I could get ONTO the internet. So in order to get the manual I had to somewhat jerry-rig my computer to a hard line coming out of my modem, and then undo it once I got the manual. Would be helpful if they would include just a 1 page, perhaps double-sided, quick start guide.

Great product! It is very cheap and works great. It is kind of hard to understand how to set up, but once you take the time to actually read the directions it gets easier. My internet is now wireless and runs very quickly. My package was also shipped in a quickly manner. I strongly suggest this product. You definitely get your bang for the buck!

I had tried several other different routers prior to purchasing the Netgear WNDRMAC Extreme for Mac. The installation process was very easy. Now that I have installed the product I receive a very strong signal and have no problems being dropped off the system as I was using other routers. This WIFI router is highly recommend for those that have Apple products and/or PC's.

I just got this and I ran this side by side with the WN2000RPT I was connecting to a wireless router about 100 ft away from my window through trees and the building where the router was, it had about two rooms/walls to go through..the WN2500RP had maybe 16% fading in and out.. the WN2000RPT had 40-50% no fading out..locked on and stayed on..So if your looking for range and don't need all the bells and whistles get the WN2000RPT and it cost less anyway..

I ordered this router to accomodate wireless conectivity due to failure of my original router. It was rather easy to install and works just fine. Only time will tell how good the product is based on its longevity. The price paid was quite acceptable.

I have the previous version of this N150 and it worked well. Got this one and was a breeze to set up (if you're computer-literate). It connected easily to my iPhone and laptops. I only plan on using to stream some videos and mostly work so I needed something solid and consistent. Not worried about high speeds. Don't plan on doing any intense gaming or downloading multiple things at one time. With my isp (Comcast) I am getting 65mbps using this router..plenty for what I need. I will update if there are any connection problems. Hope this helps.UPDATE: There have been no connection problems and router is doing a great job. All my devices (iPhone, iMac, HP Laptop, Macbook) all connect with no problems. This is a great budget router that will get the job done for the average household. It's perfect for my needs. Changed rating from 4 to 5 stars.

Meant to connect a Windows XP SP2 machine with an Apple Airport Express. Could not get them to talk to each other. Some WiFi radios can have problems getting a connection to Airport Express. I guess this is one of them.

I used this for a PC, that has an ethernet connection. My PC had the problem with a USB dongle, that when the PC went to sleep, it had trouble connecting to my router when the PC woke up, and the connection would be on again / off again.This thing did the trick. I have a dual-band router, and I set this thing to connect to the 5GHz band (which was not being used by anyone). Setup was easy, and done via a web interface to the adapter. Once it connected, it stayed connected, and hasn't lost link in the week I've had it. The PC now has ethernet whenever I want it.FYI, I connected to the router at a distance of about 70 feet away, through several walls and a door. The light is GREEN, so the signal is great.I'm very pleased with this product, and highly recommend it.

As I got it as a product test brand new and it didnt cost me a dime, thats why it got 1 star. How these are sold for $100+ is completely beyond my comprehension. If this is the quality to expect from NetGear, Ill never buy one, ever. This thing had, I say HAD, because it stopped working completely after about 45days, horrible wi-fi range. Anything over 15 feet was bad. When the modem worked it had decent speed. Do NOT Buy this Modem-Router. Pitiful Pitiful is all i can say. Stay away from it.

This wireless sub-compact adapter replaced a Linksys product that disconnected reguarly and had lots of issues. Linksys used to be a great product but I think their quality has declined since the buyout by Cisco. Netgear, on the other hand has improved and gotten better and more feature rich. This tiny adapter was simple to setup and worked perfectly and reliably. Just what we all want, right? The only down-side I can see for this is the possibility of losing if you ever take it out because it's so small.

I bought two of these that were refurbished from Amazon. They both work well but I haven't noticed a speed increase from our old router/modem. However, it is very consistent and it never loses connections. I live in a rural area and the range is also very good. I only paid $40 for it and that's a steal for the consistency I get. Again the area I live in is rural so I don't have access to fast dsl connections and I don't have any access to cable. This maybe the reason why I haven't noticed an increase in speeds. Overall I would buy it again if mine failed.
