I mean, really. Dancing lights. I guess they designed this router with the 'I really want to impress my geeky friends' guy in mind. If only it played 'We Will Rock You' when you connected something on the N-band...Oh, well...Hey, this router had almost zero documentation with it, other than a disk that works with Windows and not Mac OS X, and I got it running super easily with a Macbook Pro. Fortunately I connected without adjusting the router at all, which was made much easier by the graphic 1, 2, 3 numbers indicating the order you are to plug in the WAN, the primary LAN and the power. The back also had a rather prominent button on the back which you can use to switch off the rather annoying light display which corresponds to the anttena activity. Yes, it would have been better synched to your iPod pumping out 'We Will Rock You' or other miscellaneous rock anthems as you might choose, but alas, that is not an option.The big button clearly indicates the engineers of this product realized that the lights they were installing could be considered annoying. Makes you think, huh? Should I be embarassed that I left the lights on?Anyway, since I connected [to the www] immediately with no setup, I was able to connect to the internet to find the default IP of the router, and then access the web console. This router can be set to automatically check for firmware updates, which I find useful, as the latest firmware is generally necessary in devices which use N band wireless because of its 'developmental' nature.Well, the console allowed some great control over the wireless, which had some serious encryption beyond WEP with both versions of WPA (PSK+TKIP) simultaneously in use. This was really appreciated.Range was not fantastic, even with the eight wireless-N antennnas. It was nearly as good as my previous wireless-G, but I was still a little disappointed. The much faster connection, however, won me over.Overall, a great product.Highly recommended.

Dreadful piece of junk. Have used NetGear for years with great results. Should have bought another DG834 but decided to try this model out. Could connect to ISP, local machines could ping router, could connect to router remote admin from external network, but could not connect to public internet from any local machines. This was with the latest firmware and default factory settings. Just plain faulty. The quality of support matches the bottom end quality of the product. Strong recommendation to avoid. If you get one that works you might be ok, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Works fine. Setup using the CD on Windows 7 was easy. The crazy lights would go well with a gaming desktop, especially at night. All in all, it's much better than having a separate modem and not as buggy as some Lynksis models.Update. My initial enthusiasm about the unit has faded, the N wireless drops connections after 10 minutes, every time. I suspect the g band interferes. At ny rate, it's useless. Now the g range has to be reset once every two days. Wireless range is limited, no better than the 2wire unit sold by AT&T.I am switching to a non-dual band modem router.

Ok, I needed to find a product that would allow me to get an improvement over my existing wireless G connection with my XBOX 360. I'm running a Wireless N router but currently connecting with a wireless G XBOX 360 adapter. It currently connects at about 50% 100ft and two rooms away from my DLink-655 Wireless N router. It slows down quite a bit when streaming video so I wanted a solution that took advantage of Draft N wireless. Supposedly the 5GHz Netgear AP and Bridge are supposed to provide faster speed with better range that is less susceptible to interference.Real world results were not very good. The AP and Bridge connected quickly and the XBOX 360 saw the ethernet connection no problem. For a while everything was working well. 30 minutes later I was getting erradic behavior. Shortly after that it disconnected all together. I've since spent two days trying to get them to work reliably. Network perfomance tests reveal anywhere from full signal to no signal at all and it consistently fluctuates. Both units have the updated firmware and I tried manually setting the mode switch instead of using the auto settings. Nothing has worked.Netgear tech support was a disaster. I got right through but when speaking to them all you can hear is the sound of other tech people in the background. The first time he called I could barely hear the guy over all the background noise. He told me that I had a bad connection and should call back. The second time I called I got the same background noise but the guy attempted to help me with my issue. It was obvious right away that he didn't have any idea what he was talking about. He asked me about my wireless setup and then proceded to tell me that my wireless G laptop would not connect to the Access Point. I still don't know what he's talking about. My laptop is wireless N 2.4GHz through my DLink router and had nothing to do with my Netgear problem. He then put me on hold for several minutes came back and told me to put both switches on both units to bridges mode. What is he talking about? The Access point is supposed to be in AP mode and only the bridge should be in Bridge mode! He then puts me on hold again and he asks the distance between units. He says that my distance is too far and he can no longer help me. I tried to explain that I am currently getting a better connection and speed with my wireless G equipment so the 5GHz Wireless N setup should get better than that with the same distance. "Sorry Sir that's all I can do for you." CLICK..............WTF??Needless to say I'm returning these. Maybe at closer distances they will work well but that kind of defeats the point! The whole purpose of wireless N is added range and speed. For people with short runs this product will probably work fine but for me I don't think it lives up to the hype!

Installation could not have been more simple.Logged onto router at [...]Checked "Router Status." It already had latest firmware update!Went to "Wireless Settings"Entered SSID Name, Mode, Security Option and PassphraseClicked "Apply" & Done!!Windows 7 & Vista computers connected easily: Simply select the "wireless service" & enter Passphrase. XP took a few more steps, but was quick.Great range in an industrial type building!

I was looking for a quality Wireless N router with gigabit connections and DD-wrt compatible. This fit the bill, so I grabbed one to try out. I've tried a Linksys (320N) and a D-link to much disappointment, but this Netgear performs flawlessly. I downloaded dd-wrt firmware for it and never tried the stock Netgear stuff ([...]). DD-wrt performs flawlessly on this! No drops, great signal strength. Took me maybe 20 minutes to set up, from opening box to getting everything online. I run 3 desktops wired, one desktop wireless, and 2 wireless laptops and they all connect without issue. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for Wireless N. I have not tried the USB functionality, as all my data is shared through my computer already.

I bought this back in 2006 and never made a review yet, so I'll just keep it short. First off for me, I had a hard time fumbling around to get the settings to work, called tech. and got some help but not all of it. So weeks later I was so happy that everything finally worked. Can't believe I got my PS3's wirless router working quicker than this wirless router.

This is the first wireless home setup I have attempted, so I knew nothing about anything. I'm running Vista on a 3GHz Pentium with RR cable internet. The install instructions were clear and easy to follow, it was virtually plug and play. In about 20 minutes I was up and running, and my Wii system was on the internet. Decided to set up the wireless before I buy a laptop. I highly recommend this router to everyone, easy enough to use for people like me, and my friends who actually know what their doing tell me it would be a great router for them also.

I live out in the woods and until recently had only satellite internet, Was delighted when DSL became available. Qwest only provides g wireless routers so this N version makes a big difference. Very pleased overall.

Beware, I purchased one of these, and it worked fine after an hour of setup and a very long call to customer support. Then about 6 months later it started dropping my internet connection on the wireless. I called customer support and they tried to charge me to fix the problem, ended up sending me a new/refurbished modem that arrived with a broken antenna. I called customer support and they helped me get it back up and running and said the antennea was fine, just a piece of plastic broke. 6 months later I have lost wireless connection again. Beware when buying this product.

Bought this as dsl modem/router and could never get it to work with HTC Tilt phone. The phone has worked flawlessly with a dozen other home routers and plenty of hotspots around the nation. It would initially hook up but repeatedly drop the connection. The Netgear user forums admits that it is not always compatible with b/g items. It did work with Acer Aspire laptop. Range was acceptable but nothing special. Dlink and Actiontec have better ranges.

I bought this WiFi router because is takes the open source DD-WRT based on Linux, and Netgear is supporting it with its site [...]., I have been using DD-WRT for quite some times, so I am very familiar with it. When I saw the Netgear firmware GUI, I did not like at all, I am not saying is bad, I just did not like it. Also having plenty on RAM(64MB), fast CPu, and 8MB of flash RAM to load the mega DD-WRT firmware and others like Tomato.I am not sure how many people out there are using port forwarding, I am using about 20 already. I have a dlink DIR655, this router allows 24 ports only, basically I was reaching the limits, on top of that does not take DD-WRT. So DD-WRT allows unlimited number of port forwarding.I am giving it four stars due to the fact that I stumbled trying to figure out why was not taking the DD-WRT firmware with the bin extension.PROS:Open source routerPlenty of RAMFast CPU802.11n4 gigabit ethernet portsCONS:Cheap plastic case

read review all over and thought that it was good product. I purchased and in seconds was up and running. Was so glad that the setup was a breeze. I am a person who downloads a lot of stuff and somehow felt that the download was slow. I have a 20mbps connection - I checked the speed when connected wirelessly. I was surprised it was 9 mbps. I connected with a wire - speed was 20mbps. Ok so i checked my wireless card with another wireless router works perfect. Called customer service - Very polite people on the other end. They created a case and helped out but were not able to solve it, kept blaming my wireless card. I went and got a new wireless card - netgear. Still the same issues continued. Called them up. they created another case number - made me do the same steps as was done during the first case number. ever since that I am calling every work and creating case numbers but neither the customer support knows what to do - they always end up saying a senior technician will call but dont fall for that trap - no one is going to call you.My advise stay away from this product and to be on the safe side stay away from Netgear as such - their customer service sucks but one thing good about the customer service is that they speak politely even if they dont know anything.

Using as an access point hanging off of a Cisco-Linksys PLK300 PowerLine AV Ethernet Adapter Kit -- to get an ethernet connection to the right location. Fairly easy set-up, fast speed, and good range. The Cisco PowerLine product is hooked up to a dlink 655 router. If you have a large house, and one wireless router isn't enough, the Cisco Powerline, together with this Netgear product will solve the problem, solve it well, and with limited frustration. Highly recommend. Only drawback is -- it's "N" only -- no "G".

My reason for purchasing this product was to provide connectivity with our wireless network for our Direct TV receiver. I had looked at several products but only a few (including this one) advertised that they would work with a Macintosh computer network. The installation instructions consist of a single sheet of paper printed on two sides. I consider myself fairly computer literate but after following the directions I wasn't able to get the two units properly communicating with each other. A call to tech support was able to remedy this and now the system works perfectly for my needs. What I don't understand is why the company won't spend a few extra dollars to provide clear and concise installation instructions which would allow them to reduce the tech support payroll. Oh well.

If you are thinking about buying this unit as a way to connect your blu-ray player or xbox 360 to your wireless network, look elsewhere... the pictures on the back of the box make it appear that if you have a Netgear dual-band router, you only need one of these... read the fine print... you need two of them for the unit to function in a bridge mode.. Do yourself a favor and buy the linksys gaming adapter without further consideration of this product.. it costs just as much as two of these, but at least they're upfront about it and dont utilize, in my opinion, deceptive marketing schemes to get you to buy their product. I will never buy another netgear product again...you shouldn't either.

First and foremost, this device is not a replacement for a cheap router/NAT device.We use this in our SMB setting because it allows multiple SSIDs to be used, access to be controlled via RADIUS and allows for wireless client separation. Essentially, you connect this device to your router and your existing DHCP server will provide the addressing. You can have multiple security profiles so it is possible to have a network for employees and one for guests on the same access point.One other feature that we really like is that it can send access information to a syslog server. This is great for seeing when people connect to your network, how long they were connected, etc.This is a great little device and it plays well with existing hardware.

Purchased from another place refurbished. Newegg has this refurbished, and had a one-day special "BOGO Free". I was looking for a network bridge product because I was moving my office space into the basement, where I did not have any hard-wire network connections. My choices were to rip open the finished basement ceiling to find a good spot to put a drop, or purchase wireless-G adapters for the two computers, or use a wireless network bridge. I was about to purchase the wireless adapters when I found the special sale on this bridge (2 units).Got the units yesterday, installed in 5 minutes. Basically, set one unit to AP, attached that to my existing G router. Set up the second unit as the Bridge in the basement office. Went upstairs and pressed the WPS button on the AP unit, and ran back down to press the WPS button on the bridge. Two minutes later, plugged in ethernet cables to my two computers in the basement, turned them on and was up and running. Couldn't be simpler. Forgot to mention that one basement computer was a linux server, which was on an older computer with USB 1 connections. That would have severely limited my wireless connection, but now I have a full 100 network connection through the Bridge unit.This is a very good product for what I needed, to make the wireless connection from my old office to the basement without any drilling. I do not plan to switch anything else to wireless N because I have too much older equipment running fine on b/g.I may decide to use the Netgear software to try tweaking the network settings on the units. I saw some interesting comments on the Netgear forums.

My old Gateway 2wire broke last Friday after the 2 year warranty expired. I called ATT tech support which took forever only to find out that the reason the failure was with the power supply.I needed a modem and router that night so I went up and picked up one from a place called _RY's(just add the 6th letter of alphabet to fill in the blank) to test it out Took some time to find the old email address and password and finally signed on using the enclosed CD. After about 30 minutes I was online again. It worked for me all weekend like a charm. Hit the middle button on it to turn off the cool LED lights thoughI decided to try buying one from Amazon and low and behold it was cheaper and I decided to saved some serious cash. I saved 13.5 percent!. I saved 8.75 percent only by not paying California Sales tax.The modem and router arrived today. I installed the Router/modem from Amazon and returned the other one to the store for a full refund. I saved some money shopping from Amazon and the next person buying my store bought version will save some money too as the store version is going back on the refurbished shelf.So far so good. The laptops, desktops, and gaming consoles work really well.I hope

bought this with my new hp dv6-2150 laptop from staples. set up was unbelievably easy. up and running in under a minute. have lost connection with the laptop a few times and windows 7 says the router is the issue. wired side seems to run witout a single hic-up. wife got her laptop today. will see if it is my laptop or the router. when i called staples a couple of days later the other tech guy said it is just netgear. bring it back and get a linksys. still got a week till i cannot return it so i will see what happens.

While it seemed to work well at first, the router persistently gets into a state where it won't give out DHCP addresses. Any devices I have that use static addresses seem to work fine and it maintains its wireless network and WAN connection, but anything that gets its address via DHCP is off the network.This can happen any time from a few hours to a few days after it's been powered up. Every time this happens I have to reset the router to get it to work again for my DHCP devices. And yes, I have the latest firmware for this router (as of January 23, 2010).I'd return the router whence it came, but I ignored my own good habits and threw the box away right after I bought it. It's now sitting on my basement shelf waiting for salvation, but at this point I'm not too confident about it. A little Google work will find similar complaints by other users, and this has been going on for a while.
