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

My linksys has been chugging along for years - no problems at all.I decided to "upgrade" since my computer has an N nic and I really wanted to access my external harddrive from the internet.This router drops connection periodically (for 10-15 minutes at a time). Furthermore I've been wrestling with "ReadyShare" all afternoon & night. Seeing the files/folders locally works (eg: \\ReadyShare\). Writing to it however never works. When I attempt to connect via internet [...] it never works at all in Windows Explorer (Win7 and WinXP) and in IE it allows me to browse - which isn't useful! All of this is rather inconsistent - as in it works sometimes and other times not (sometimes just hitting refresh will make it pop up correctly). I have the read/write permissions set properly - and I've carefully gone over every option available on the router. The google searches and forums haven't given me any breakthroughs.At this point I'm going to use DD-WRT on the router and maybe it will become less useless. Even if that does help, this router still should not be bought by anyone. It's garbage.

I've owned this router for about 6 months. It has a lot of great features and is pretty reliable. I seldom need to restart it. Recently I noticed my internet download speeds were slow though. After some debugging I determined it to be caused by the router. Connected directly to my cable modem I can get 22 MBps but through the router it tops out at 9.5 MBps. This is over Wifi (G) and a 100 MBps wired connection. I called Netgear tech support and they said I was outside of the 90 day warranty period and I could pay $70 for support. I may as well get a new router that works. Upgrading my firmware to 1.1.2.28NA didn't solve my problem either. Feature wise I really like it. It has a decent web interface, traffic usage, port forwarding, and most of the standard features you'd expect on a router. If you buy this router, be sure it isn't throttling your connection and if it is, return it.

I just purchased this little WiFi adapter for my home entertainment system. It's hooked up to my Blu-Ray player for now to stream from my network. Installation was easy enough thru WPS. Upgraded the firmware (a must!)and away she went. Good signal strength from my Netgear WNDR4500 Dual Band Router and the streams are strong and constant.So Far....So Good! It's worth the bucks.

This wireless router is horrible.. Repeatedly disconnect from the internet..I do not recommend buying the device.Bought it on Friday and i will be returning it on Saturday.

First thing - most of the reviews complaining it does not work, or do not work as a bridge missed that it is a 5Gz device. As such, check your device since most lower cost devices only works with 2.5Gz (i.e. if your device works with B/G, it is 2.5Gz). 5Gz devices are less popular, and more expensive. But people who really wanted searches them out because its signal is much stronger at home env (shorter range) and has much less interference due to both wider frequency range and much less interference. So check your equipment. If it does not match, don't bother or upgrade them all. Actually, 802.11N at 2.5G is a not really useful. It needs the whole channel range to be able to run at 300mbps, and I never see a clear free 1-11 channel for the years I've been using wireless.I have a linksys WRT160N b/g/n router running DD-WRT. It work great, very stable. But the speed never get above 25mbps due to interference from neighbor, phone, bluetooth, ... and keep on fluctuating too - video streaming is a joke (it shows 54mbps sometimes, but as soon as I use it, it drop down). Plug this device in as an access point. The connection goes to 300mbps instantly and stay there throughout my streaming. I have 3 wireless devices stream video and no pausing. Even 802.11a works well. I don't connect to ethernet anymore - access to local NAS is as good as on wired connection. So now I have full coverage a/b/g/n with distributed access point on dual band in my home. Works out well.Even 802.11a is running at 54mbps solidly. I was not quite convinced 802.11a is much better than 802.11g until using this device. BTW, I got this refurbished for $20 so that make it a much sweeter deal.Downside - some reviewer complain the shorter range of this compared to 802.11g. I have similar range. Which is a bummer because N supposed to give me better range. Looks like the MIMO part is not that well done (or done at all).

Yes it does work as advertised with all the bells, whistles and dazzling lights, but some other wireless DSL routers have similar functionality and are priced for a little less.After my old 2-wire DSL router died, I decided to buy this as a replacement. I couldn't wait for shipping. So I bought this DSL router from a local store. I've also been disappointed by other reviews on the internet for this DGND3300-100NAS. So I'm writing this review.I mainly got this DSL router because of the energy star logo on the box. It lives in the temperature extremes of my garage, and some of the other DSL routers ran a little too hot. It works with my AT&T DSL. I've only been using it for the past day, and I have not had any connectivity issues. I'll update this review if the stability changes.I never really had wireless connectivity problems with my old router, but the new wireless router now stays at 100% signal strength through out my house. My other router would sometimes go down to 90% at the farthest edge of the house. I set this router to "Up to 130 Mbps at 2.4 GHz. Neighbor friendly mode".If you are familiar with configuring home routers through a web interface, this won't be much different. It's fairly easy to set up.Compared to my attached 8 port gigabit switch and my 6 megabit DSL, the 802.11n standard isn't very interesting when compared to 802.11g. Downloading from the internet is limited to my purchased 6 megabit DSL, and wirelessly transferring files to my network attached storage is limited to the 100 Mbps limit of the integrated 4 port router. Though now my router supports 802.11n in case I ever get such a device that requires it. I'm glad it has the more secure WPA2-PSK, and there is a setting for both WPA2-PSK and WPA-PSK to be used at the same time, which is helpful for migrating the settings of your wireless devices.It does have one minor annoyance. I'm not sure why it has so many bright blue blinking lights. It looks like a disco in my cabinet now. If your DSL modem will be in a bedroom you use for sleeping or any other room that you want to keep dark, this may be a concern for you.One feature I missed from my 2wire DSL modem that I haven't found on the Netgear DSL modem is the Management Diagnostic Console. It's a hidden set of pages that provides error diagnostics and a pretty ASCII based bitloading graph. It was helpful to diagnose which radio frequencies were interfering with my DSL. In case you didn't know, telephone lines act like huge radio antennas, which interfere with the DSL signal. That's part of the reason why shielded coaxial cable from cable companies can have higher transfer speeds. Most people won't be fanatical enough to care about this missing diagnostic feature.-------------- Review update December 22, 2009 --------------It's been a few months since I reviewed this product, and I decided to go back to the latest 2wire modem from AT&T. After upgrading to the latest Netgear firmware level for this modem, I noticed the bandwidth rate became inconsistent. On several occasions the DSL Reports speed test reported that my 6Mbps DSL line (5.1 Mbps real bandwidth) went down to 3 Mbps occasionally, and on average the Netgear modem seems to be about 5-10% slower than my new 2wire modem. I'm dropping this review from 4 stars to 3 stars due to this new slowness. The sad thing is that the 2wire modem from AT&T is cheaper than this modem :-(

Its a simple and best router. Easy to setup, works right out from box with NO customizations. Easy for novice to pro users. Dual band router provides incredible connection no signal drop-out.

After I bought 3, 4 different adapters for my DW TV live hub,thanks to utube, I finally found this " easy to use-not easy to loose " key. My computer is not in the same room as my TV and movies and documents are streaming easily from comp to tv.At last, I can see my movies every day without waiting the discs.Visually it's perfect.To use it? just plug in front of your WD.That's it.The only thing : the price of S & H. Almost $10.I think that it's lower now.But the company really exagerate.Well , I am happy of my purchase, 100%.

I simply plugged it in, and the computer (WinXP) automatically found and ran the right wizard.A couple clicks of "Next" and that was it!Works great!That was two months ago, and has worked perfectly every day since.

I bought this router through Amazon. Apparently it is a refurbished unit, although that was not at all clear when I bought it through Quantum Networks. So that means no customer support which I called because there was NO instruction booklet and NO CD ROM. Plus it doesn't have a built in modem like my other router did. So a complete mess and waste of time. I gave 2 stars instead of 1 since it is likely a brand new unit would have been OK, but be careful who you buy these through as there is very limited documentation and support.

Purcahsed this product knowing it will be a better but was disapointed,as it was interfering with other wireless devices,even cordless ph was failing with this unit on,wasted time and money,and got no response from the manufacture to help and fix the problem,finaly have to return.

Set it up last night and pretty impressed how simple it was. No complaints except the claims of being a "green" device. The router gets awfully warm, making me wonder just how efficient it really is. I don't like the idea of having an energy hog plugged into my wall all the time.

Straightforward setup for AT&T 3.0 Mbps service. Switched from older 2-wire 2701HG.Still getting about the same downstream rate of 2700 Mbps. Still new, but so far no downtimes for the last 3 weeks in the router logs. Easier to restrict sites with this compared to the earlier 2-wire for parental control. A deal, refurbished for 39.95.

I love having internet anywhere in the house, not just in front of a stationary computer. I can take my lap top to any room. So glad I got this router at such a good price.

I currently own a Netgear WNR834B wireless router which is connected downstairs and wired to my desktop PC and cable modem. Upstairs I have a second desktop PC but no ethernet cable run, so I've been using a Netgear WN121T USB2.0 wireless adapter. With latest firmware upgrades this theoretically provides up to 300mbps connectivity, although I've gotten 243mbps at most per the connection wizard. Actual throughput between machines is typically 30-40mbps, which is terrific for a non-wired connection if you ask me. I know this doesn't sound even like 802.11g, but I've been using wireless devices for a long time and there's a big difference between "hardware rated speed" and "actual Windows throughput", using tools like DUMeter to measure objective speed.This all works fine enough, except that fairly often after many hours of use (or when the temperature in the upstairs computer room rises) something goes south and I lose my connection. I believe it's the WN121T adapter rather than the WNR834B router because many of the other wireless networks I normally can also see in my area suddenly have disappeared. The only solution seems to be to shut down the upstairs PC and let things cool down.Ok, this finally got so annoying that I decided to try something else. In particular I wanted to go with a wireless bridge (connected by ethernet cable to the gigabit network jack on my upstairs PC) rather than a wireless USB adapter. This has many advantages to me and I'd previously had a Linksys 802.11g wireless bridge that worked great. But of course I wanted an 802.11n wireless bridge, which are now commonly called "gaming adapters".Enter my decision to settle on this WNHDE111 from Netgear, to go along with a new WNDR3300 Netgear wireless router. Theoretically these are good matches.Well, both boxes were installed and became operational, except that connectivity speed between the two boxes was seemingly very very slow. Internet download speed (per DSL Reports) from the upstairs box was now 2/3 (6700kbps) what it was with my WN121T (9700kbps) on my 10mb cable modem service. Transfer speeds between my two PCs measured only 8mbps instead of the typical 35mbps I had with the WN121T.Talking to the bridge's firmware, the claim was I had only a 30% signal strength (even though the box was in the same precise location as the WN121T sat at). With my WN121T I show typically 80%-100% (with the WNR834B configured at its maximum capable speed of 270mbps, which usually has a lower signal strength measurement than when configured for a max of only 130mbps).I tried to move the bridge around to improve the signal strength and it went from a low of 20% to a high of 34%, but in no case did my inter-machine connection throughput improve. Very disappointing.Then, it suddenly seemed to stop working. I had no connection, couldn't see the router through it, and couldn't even make contact with it using its IP address of 192.168.0.141 through which I'd communicated previously (and watched the signal strength meter). I pulled the power plug to reboot that way, but to no avail.There's no reset button on the bridge, so if you can't talk to it you're dead. Thus not only did it not perform anywhere near what was expected (actually, I rate it DREADFUL for performance while it was working) but it apparently just died in some way and there was no way to kick it back to life (other than a replacement from Netgear, I guess).I had upgraded firmware in both boxes to the latest available from Netgear, so in theory any complaints due to prior firware levels should not be relevant.RMA time. Both boxes are going back on Monday. I'm back with the WNR834B and WN121T, and although I will have to deal with the occasional but significant connection losses and general nuisance issues with a USB network adapter, at least I get absolutely spiffy performance 99.9% of the time and that's what's important.I recommend you AVOID the WNHDE111 if you're thinking of using it as I was, as a 100% dependable and reliable and FAST 802.11n "transparent" wireless bridge (to a wireless router) connected via ethernet cable to a desktop PC.I can't imagine using this box for gaming or HD video, unless performance is greatly a function of distance and 80 feet and a few walls is NOT in your blueprint. Perhaps being very close to the router is crucial here, but it certainly shouldn't be... not with Netgear's claims.

My first MBRN 3000 was defective. Amazon quickly replaced it with no hassle. The second unit gives a great signal, has good range and speed, but is quirky about seeing my ATT&T broadband adapter at start-up.

This thing is a nightmare. Cuts out constantly and at random times for no apparent reason. The internet could be working just fine and then randomly, it will stop working and stop detecting any wireless networks in range... only to magically start working again a few hours or days later. It is not the range since it is only about 15 feet away from my router, so I really do not know what the problem is.

I replaced my 2wire modem with the Netgear Dual Band DSL Modem with high expectations. Setting up was surprising easy. I like the feature that allows a guest access. The main reason I bought the dual band wireless feature. It worked fine, but the range was really poor. The single band had a range of about 50 feet, but the dual band offered distance coverage of 20 feet. Very disappointing indeed.

I was able to use this device with my DirecTV receiver without paying twice as much for the DirecTV kit. It was more complicated to get working but anyone with reasonable technical ability should be able to make it work.

This is definitely WELL worth the money. Much less expensive than most wireless routers and works incredibly well. It may be refurbished, but it runs and works just like new. I have had a few problems, though not with the wireless router or connection itself. The website tells me to enter a username and password although I never had a chance to set up ether and I never received the CD that was supposed to come with it. Luckily I didn't need it because it set up very quickly all on its own. But the missing CD may be the reason I can not create an account.

This is my first wireless router & was provide free by Comcast (since I pay a ridiculous monthly rental fee for my modem). The installation was simple & fast and the unit provides a nice range inside my home. The laptop I use at the other end of the house receives & transmits as fast as my "wired" desktop PC. I have yet to try streaming movies, but I suspect it will do OK. The unit is quite small & unobtrusive.

I have since bought newer versions of this, but It does the job with my netgear n-300 router. A simple usb connection and you have access to your wireless internet!

I just want to reiterate the poor reviews that some have provided here. I bought this router to replace an aging Netgear that I had nice luck with except for its range. This one set up easily (using manual settings because the setup program would not work with 64 bit Win7), and initially it connected with high strength to all my devices (4 laptops, 2 ipads, a network printer, media server, an iphone, 2 ipad touch and a wii), Within 12 hours it had dropped internet connectivity to all the wireless devices, requiring a reboot. After doing a ton of searching I tried forcing a fixed IP, changed the MTU and channel settings, and other suggested changes. In the last 12 hours it has dropped connection 2 more times, requiring me to even reboot the cable modem once. I finally reinstalled my old router and this one is headed to the garbage can. I suggest staying away from this model, and maybe this brand.

I purchased this product to replace an old Linksys wireless router that was showing its age. The Netgear modem only lasted about 2 months. It was reasonably priced, easy to setup and worked well for about two months. Then it stopped working one afternoon. Netgear tech support took hours to issue a return authorization and then they didn't ship a replacement for almost a week. When the replacement did arrive, it also didn't work. I went back to the Linksys.
