To add this device to you home network, you must disable the existing wireless network. It will not extend the range of your current wireless network. However, if you are ok with having different SSIDs around your home, then this will work.

I am on my 3rd RMA with this device. I really love the functionality of this firewall, thus all of the RMA's. The main issue I was experiencing, was the wireless conneciton. The speed of the connection would fluctuate between 54Mbps and 1Mbps. And I would randomally get disconnected for some time until it would reconnect. I also am running the higest security settings one can run. Data encryption is WPA2-PSK. I have done some extensive research as to what could be causing this. Tech support is very poor. When you know more about their product then they do, do yourself a favor, and either demand for an RMA, or hang up and fix it yourself. Well, I got fed up and I did exactly that! I found some rumors that heat is causing the wireless issues. I cracked open the firewall and found that the broadcom IC(Wireless) was very hot at idle. When I was streaming video it got hotter. Well, that makes sense. Sad thing is that there are no heatsinks on it. I went to the store and purchased a VGA heatsink and slapped it on there. It runs much cooler, and my speed is stable. Best thing is that I don't have the disconnects as often. I generally get 1 disconnect/week. When I do experience them, I go into my site monitoring software, and I find that my firewall is still active and has a strong signal. I think it has to do with my wireless card in my laptop. It's a Dell, with the built-in WiFi. I'm sure I can drop down to WPA-PSK to help out, but I like the heightened security.

Works great when it's not frozen. What do I mean? For example, while typing this review, the traffic light on the adapter started a steady and rapid blink. There is no indication that I am not connected to the network but, I cannot navigate the internet or do anything over the network while the adapter is in this condition. The only solution is to disconnect and reconnect the adapter to the USB (so it resets). Some days it only occurs once, other days it's once every 10 minutes. Reading other reviews about the poor Netgear customer support, I'm not sure I'll even bother with them, I'll just buy another brand....

Installation was simple, but this device has not worked consistently well from the outset. Signal is OK but once or twice a week it simply quits working, forcing us to unplug and plug it back into the USB port. We put up with that inconvenience for several months until it quit working altogether. Do yourself a favor and find another product (as we are trying to do now).

I've been a Netgear user for years and was happy to upgrade an old B router with the latest technology. The first time I worked at home after installing it I noticed that my internet connection was resetting about once every minute or two. After checking the router I discovered that the router itself was resetting. I discovered from additional checking of other reviews here an on other forums on the web that this seems to be a common problem with this model. Needless to say I have returned the unit and will be a lot more hesitant about buying another Netgear product in the future.

I purchased this router for 2 reasons: Wireless-N and Gigabit router.PRO/CON:- Wireless signal is quite strong and is able to go far distances. I was an early adopter of Wireless-N, and to had to purchase a new one to replace my D-Link DIR-635 because it became unstable after the draft was approved.- Gigabit router works well and transfers well between my computer and home fileserver. You'll see a green light if you're connected through Gigabit speeds and an orange light if your speed is 10/100 Mbps.- For some reason, when I use a nameserver (OpenDNS) outside of my ISP's, the router becomes unstable and disconnects from the Internet every now and then. Using OpenDNS as primary and ISP's NS as secondary appears to fix the problem.- Wireless security (WPA/WPA2) is very easy to setup.- The blue flashing lights at the top of router is pretty cool, but useless at the same time. Fortunately, there is an off button on the back of the router.- For those wanting to save the planet, this device is rated Energy Star compliant.UPDATE: I'm giving this router 4 of 5 stars because it is a good router. I have not had any problems since I updated the firmware. Also, all 4 ports are Gigabit speeds (I originally reported 2 of 4).

This wireless router is flaky. It will work for a while and then stop accepting new wireless connections for no apparent reason.I have the lastest firmware (Nov 2006) and use WPA/WPA2 with long passphrases. I also tried various settings (such as wireless B/G only) to no avail. The relatives that use this unit at their home are very frustrated.

I just purchased a NETGEAR WPN511 RangeMax Wireless PC Card to replace my Linksys Wireless G card. The setup was easy and offers a great on-screen wizard that runs when the card is in use. The speed and coverage are as advertised - faster speed and broader coverage for my home network. I am happily enjoying downloading and streaming video while sitting my backyard, far away from the router. I highly recommend this card to all laptop users.

I ordered one of these Netgear USB Wifi dongles and plugged it into my computer's USB port. I found that it gave me a better signal than my internal PCI wifi card(also Netgear).The problem is that the adapter seems to shut itself off (the light turns off and all network activity stops) after a couple of minutes, at which point I have to unplug it and plug it back in again, over and over again every few minutes.I got this particular model because the price was good and Netgear has worked well for me in the past. This problem I'm having, however, makes this product a worthless waste of my time and shipping money (I'm getting a refund on the product itself). After reading the other negative reviews of this model, it looks like this is not just a fluke problem with my unit, so next time I'll try a different brand or model.You have been warned.

The USB device worked OK but not have the speed I expected even sitting next to the router. The metal USB end fell out of the adapter, so I called Netgear because it was over the 30 Amazon return limit (it was only about 50 days). Netgear refused to take it back and exchange it even though it was clearly a workmanship issue. The warranty states "Netgear" will make a determination when the item arrives. Well they wouldn't even give me a RMA to get that far!I sent it back to Amazon today to see if they will exchange it for Linksys. I will not buy anymore Netgear products. Good luck if you do...

This product is quite unreliable. I've had it only 8 days and it gets very hot and can't find the access point (in the next room) and the included software is quite unreliable with XP.

I bought this access point to provide wireless coverage to a 2 story colonial house. Even with a Netgear ANT24D18 Ant 18DBI Patch Panel attached, it provided less coverage than what I was using before, a Netgear WPN802 v1. What I am using now is this WG302 w/ ANT24D18 patch panel as the access point, and the WPN802 as a repeater. This is working well.

I would strongly advise against buying this thing. I've had it for about 1 week and I've been experiencing what some others have said - the wireless will die and I can't reconnect to it until I restart the router. This is very annoying and unacceptable. What I notice is the LAN still works, its just he wireless that dies horribly. It got to a point where I had to do it once a day. I had a cheap cheap D-Link that I restarted maybe once every 7 months, and even then I wasn't sure it needed it. What I am sure of is that Netgear has lost their shine and now they are making consumer grade junk. I've also had a newer Linksys that would do this to me. I am going back to cheap, but reliable D-Links.

I live in an old stone house with stone interior walls with block wireless signal from the router. Plus the solid stone walls mean no way to fish new cable so I gave this a try. Connects quickly and gives strong signal. I like that I can move the receiver unit around the house and get wireless access is less than 10 seconds of plugging it in. I also like to plug the receiver in on the outside deck on sunny days and have wireless all accross the back yard. (I experiemented and got useful signal strength over 400 feet away.) Also, I have taken it to a detached garage, plugged it in and have wireless while working on projects. (So handy, that I have just bought an additional receiver to save the "hassle" of moving it from place to place.)USAGE CAVEAT: Be careful what devices share the circuit with the units. They seem especially senstive to surge suppressors and to power chargers. For example, I suddenly had great difficulty with wireless in the bedroom where it had worked flawlessly for months. When I checked the unit, my wife had plugged in her cell phone charger into the same outlet next to the netgear. When I unplugged her charger, all access problems immediately disappeared. If a charger or other device "hums" when plugged in, don't place right next to the unit.Bottom line: works well when wired network is impractical to install

From out-of-the-box to fully functional took less than 10 minutes. Very impressed with the ease of set up. My existing wireless enabled devices latched on almost immediately (even my Chumby!) + with my new Wireless-N card performance (throughput and signal strength) was better than I've ever seen before. Count me as one very happy user.

I need a wireless repeater. This unit goes in-line between the PC and gateway and offers almost no performance advantage.

I purchased a Netgear WNR3500 recently to replace my Linksys WRT54GS especially to take advantage the extended wireless coverage, 1G wired networking and N Wireless characteristics. It is a handsome device with lots of flashing blue lights and promising appearance. But it is not nearly as stable as my old Linksys. The 3500 repeatedly and sporadically drops my wireless connections, sometimes requires new connection profiles from my laptops and occasionally prevents internet access via wireless connection while maintaining networking connections and wired internet connections.A newer firmware update seems to have stabilized the device a bit so maybe many of these wireless connection problems are behind me (fingers crossed). And I hope other firmware updates will make it the device Netgear claims it to be.I'd go back to the old Linksys in a heartbeat if the 3500 didn't have N wireless. That is a real selling factor and I expect N will become the standard soon. Other N wireless routers may be better than the WNR3500.

Pros:1. Price is good.2. The security is "business grade." The hardware firewall was NAT and SPI, and there was a host of miscellaneous security features.Cons:1. The range extension is very limited. Despite the claims, Netgear's own technicians said less than 90 feet in an open area without walls. On this matter, I can verify. My computer was 60 feet away, but the signal had to go through two walls and a floor. The signal was so weak that the internet was not usable.

Got this and set it up right away. Set up was very easy and as someone who normally waits until hubby comes home to do things this was a breeze for me. We're a gaming household with all next-gen systems. So this truly came in handy. Once set up I notice that there was a remarkable difference when connecting via my laptop. I also tried going online via the Playstion 3 and the connection speed was so much faster than when I had my Linksys connected. I must say that I am using Cable Internet services. As stated though there was no lag when hosting matches via Xbox Live and that was exactly what we were looking for. This is definitely what you need when gaming. It does exactly what it says it will do. I don't normally recommend products but this one gets a definite thumbs up from me.

Stupid me ... I read the bad reviews and violated my own rules and went ahead and bought this product at Staples. I have a Netgear FVG318 wireless router. The router sees the WGX102, but their own utility that comes with it does not see it, AND it says that the password that is printed on the WGX102 is not valid. *Then* trying to troubleshoot, I plugged the extender into an outlet one (1) outlet away from the WGX102 bridge (6ft away, on the same cricuit!) and it shows 1 bar of signal strength!!!! I suppose they will tell me that I have a "noisy line" or some crap like that(?). How about this ... their product is a piece of crap like the all the reviews here said, the same reviews THAT I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO in the first place!!!I am a 25 year professional/veteran in the IT field. I am not a novice at this stuff in any sense of the word. This thing has SERIOUS quality issues ... it doesn't even work with their own products. What a piece of crap ... listen to the reviews posted here and stay away and save yourself a lot of wasted time, frustration, and iritation.NETGEAR, you need to invest more in your Quality Control department!!! Seriously.

I wanted to upgrade my Netgear WGT624v2 (which i use as an access point --see the Netgear instructions on the internet for this configuration) and the Netgeat game bridge (can't remember the model) that Netgear sold for awhile. This HD-Gaming set seemed like the perfect soluction. Set up was quick in both the auto mode and when I specifically designated AP/Bridge modes which I heard would give me greater range. I also tried every conceivable orientation of the units to get better range & transmission rate. Basically if you try to get a signal from the second floor to the first floor of a standard built house -- i.e., no tile, water tanks, ect. in between -- you can only get about 30 feet to get a decent high bandwidth signal. Move the bridge out another 20 more and the units won't even connect. Clearly this won't work for most users. Either I just got defectinve units (yes i did update the firmware) or the other reviewers that talk about the great range must work for Netgear.

Had to replace a Netgear WNR854T that had crapped out after only 1 year (just google it and you'll find hundreds of posts describing that model's failure). However I've had great experience with other Netgear equipment (still using one of their switches that must be 8 yrs old) so instead of blaming the vendor I blamed the model and replaced the WNR854T with their latest greatest WNR3500 on 3/3/08. It died today 3/27/08. This model has only been available for a few weeks so there aren't a lot of other reviews posted yet (I'm the 5th). Looks like 'Atticus Finch' and I should be contacting a lawyer about a possible class action lawsuit.I don't disagree with the other positive reviews - it had great speed & range and was straightforward to configure but you can't sell products that are so poorly designed that they consistently fail after such a short period. Netgear will not be in business soon if they don't take action to address this; their once stellar reputation is going up in smoke.Be warned.P.S. This should get zero stars but Amazon insists on at least one.

I read all of the reviews before I bought this and figured that surely Netgear would fix all the problems that were mentioned. I was incredibly wrong. The now two year old problem of constantly dropping WAN connection is still prevalent. I had an FWG114PV2 and I upgraded it to the latest firmware and had no problems at all for about 2 hours. Then I had to reboot the router every 5 minutes for an hour. Then it went up a bit more to 15-20 minutes each hour and then back to around 5. The longest it ever held connection was a full 18 hours which I thought was sheer magic. During the longest period of connectivity was my heaviest use as well. Both my girlfriend and I work from home and we simply pounded the router with data due to the nature of our jobs. I remember only have Pidgin. PuTTY, and Firefox with 3 tabs open during nearly 6 hours of random WAN drops. I wasn't doing anything special if I was doing anything at all. Most traffic was simple IMing and SSH traffic and nothing more.After that debacle, I downgraded to firmware 1.2_04 (second newest, nearly a year old at this point) and it was no better. I did the same testing as before: Pidgin, PuTTY, Firefox. The connection drops were less frequent but still happened multiple times an hour. At that point, I was completely fed up and promptly filled out an Amazon return. In total, I had this piece of junk for 1 week including the UPS pick-up to my apartment. It was only in use for 2 days and I didn't even get to test out the print server functionality but I too figured that it wouldn't work worth what this thing costs.As a replacement, I dusted off my old WRT54GL that FON sent me nearly three years ago and flashed it with dd-wrt. Since then, the router has been rebooted two times by me and only had a dropped WAN connection once...when my DHCP lease renewed itself.I gave this piece of junk 2 stars simply because the case is made of metal and not cheap plastic like the rest of consumer-level networking products.
