Pros: Good range, supports my xbox live well, Cons: setup cd sucked The only problem I have had with it at all is setting it up. It took us about 2 hours. I agree with the guy that said go to...
I replaced a broken Linksys WRT54G with this thing, touted by the Best Buy guys (and CNET) as a pretty fast router. It's not. Even the one computer in my house that was hardwired to the router...
Was great for a year. My son got a Mac Book Pro for college and once he used the IM program, port forwarding no longer works. I have a Linksys NAS unit with a built in FTP server that also has a...
For most casual and demanding users, the Netgear RangeMax Wireless Router is an all-around excellent option. The adaptive internal antennas that compensate for interference provide great...
This particular model is great. Right now I have three, one as an access point and two as clients for XBOX and HTPC. If I ever need another client Ill buy this model for sure. Search for WGT624...
This router is easy to set up and works great. But every now and then it drops the connection between the computer and the router if you are inactive. When you put your computer on standby it's not...
The Netgear WGT624 108Mbps wireless firewall router is a good example of the advantages and disadvantages of bleeding-edge technology. It offers nearly double the throughput of standard 802.11g...
It's a sign of the times that 802.11n has taken so long to limp towards ratification that there is a fair amount of Draft-n hardware on sale that is getting rather long in the tooth. That's not to...
Pros: Wireless range Cons: Price, Low quality I've used Netgear products for years and purchased this router when I found I needed to increase the range of my wireless connectivity, even though it...
Pros: Easy to use, compatibility, automated set up. Cons: Price, I use it with comcast cable and it was so easy to set up. I heard that many routers can't handle well comcast, but this one it did...
Conceded, I have only had the device a day, but either it works or it doesn't, right? Set-up was pretty straight-forward following along with the wizard, which I didn't need, but made things easy...
The wireless signal range on this netgear is twice that of the D-link DI-624 I had before. The signal reaches my laptop across double brick walls from one corner of the house to the backyard...
"Deceptive beauty by a sneaky company (BBB-rated "F")"
The router has good signal strength and range -when it works. When it does not, most of the time, you deal with TERRIBLE technical support and TERRIBLE customer service. Worse: the company acted...
Features and Design With all the hype over pre-N hardware getting yanked from shelves, the current top-of-the-line routers offer MIMO (multiple-input, multiple-output) technology. Two major...
This router never did ID my modem which is throug Time Warner. It also destroyed my internet connection so badly, I spent an hour with Time Warner Tech Support to have a new IP issued. Customer...
It gets the job done, great firewall and traffic filter, not much more.
This router did a fair job. I frequently used it for Xbox Live/Playstation Network/online multiplayer games. I also frequently streamed extremely large media files across network as I have a...
Editors' note: Netgear has released a firmware update that adds support for WPA-PSK. You can download the update from the Netgear support site. (5/3/04) With the WGR614 router, Netgear applies its...
After spending 2 hours on the phone with my ISP I was finally convinced the problem with hooking up my Netgear WGR614 lay within the device itself. I found the cd supplied with the router hokey at...
I keep reading about people hating this thing...mine does not get hot (if kept vertical - that's why it includes the stands, DUH), have not had any "drop outs", "dead spots", or other anomalies....
The WGR614 router isn't just small, sleek and silver, it's practical too. It's got rubber feet so it stays put, well-designed slots on the back that let you hang it up any way you want, and an...
There are a lot of positive attributes to this product. First, if you're renting your DSL modem this will save you money every month. It's great if you're looking for an easy to set up home network...
Just purchased this item to replace my rented Qwest Actionec DSL modem but will not work on Qwest. I contacted Netgear Tech support, which is out-sourced to India, and they said the BG834Gv4...
The DG834G combines five network functions in a single box - ADSL modem, router, switch, firewall and 802.11g wireless access point. Despite some dodgy firmware updates, it's one of the better...
This is the first wireless router I have used, and I relied on the saleman's recommendation when I bought it. I spent one tedious hour getting it set up. After that, it has been a joy. I have been...
Netgear does make good stuff, but the WNR834 is definitely a lousy product. I always have issues with connection, it definitely doesn't have the range it advertises, and signals always drop down...
Having set up wireless routers in the past, I was able to get this one up and running pretty quickly. However, if you have never done it before, look somewhere else. The set-up "Wizard" is not...

I upgraded from a Linksys 802.11b wireless router to this model. Setup was a snap, and I get a 3X increase in download speed to my home PC connected via wire (not a wireless connection) over my...

Just over 6 months and mine failed as well. According to Netgear technical support the problem is with the original firmware, and is not a hardware issue. Although I did wait on hold for some time,...
Pros: same type of setup as other wnr models Cons: disconnects all wireless connection randomly I've had this router for abut two months setup was easy walked through setup and wireless setup....
For the price this is a very good unit! So many folks have 3G cards and this is really a great way to use your card to supply internet and networking. I originally purchased it to put up in a...
This router is great, the range is unbelievable and the speed at any given range is great. The LEDs that blink also have an off switch so you don't get annoyed by them when you sleep if you live in...
I bought a refurb WPN824v2 from Tiger Direct via Amazon. I thought I could save a few bucks; ~$20 compared to a Linksys WRT54G2. Sadly, I have gotten ZERO uptime since the unit arrived. It gets...
Do Not Buy this router if you want to do port forwarding!
I have this router for less than one week, and found trouble with the port forwarding, then I searched the internet, found several forums have lots of complains about the same issue, there is no...
I purchased this product less than 6 months ago. I have had nothing but problems with it, after hours of techsupport with Netgear it finally up and died after following Netgears techs instructions....
While researching this product, I found many, many negative reviews. But, in the end, being able to get a Netgear VPN, firewall, router and wireless capability for 100 dollars less than buying the...
I ordered this router to replace a WGR614 as my network was upgraded to include a server. Surprise surprise! It wouldn't accept admin logins from IE7 or Firefox on a computer running XP and IE7....
Bought this last year. haven't got it to work for more than 2 days before it locks up. You then have to leave it unpluged for days to get it back up and running. Tech support no help nor firmware...
Bought this ''re-certified'' router in Sept, 2007. Only paid $44 with the shipping. Installation was a snap. Had just a few resets in the past 15 months. Performance was excellent, including...

1st one lasted 6 months. Netgear sent another one. It only lasted 6 months. Thats not much service for 130$. This is my 3rd Netgear, they'll not get anymore of my money.
The airy box that surrounds the inner workings of Netgear's WNR854T wireless router certainly isn't the smallest we've seen. Its large size serves a purpose: it allows the unit's three antennas to...
so far so good. Only concern now is lifespan... if it dies I want it to w/in the 1 year warranty. When I registered I had option to extend 1 add'l year for $10. I don't do extended warranties...
This is a pretty good unit. Our company uses these units to maintain a VPN connection between offices, and to our clients. They always seem to do a great job keeping a connection... It seems we...
BEWARE - Used to love it until I got a faster internet connection
I have had this for years (the v3), it has run solid as a rock. Setting up static IP routes for Network storage and network printers is a breeze, I used reserved IPs for almost everything on my...
This router is nothing but slow. If you look at Netgears website and the technical specifications, which aren't listed on the box. This router supports a maximum LAN to WAN throughput of 12.5Mbps...
I love this Netgear Unit not only does it power my wired pc but it powers my laptop, my sisters laptop my Xbox 360, Nintengo Wii, PSP and my blackberry and it works like a charm. It is really easy...
"After 6 months, no problems, no dropped signals."
I really don't know the technical background of the reviewers, however mine is NOT network oriented. I found this unit works very well for my needs when I used the recommended Netgear Wireless N...
Initially cautious about buying 'refurbished'. Order placed 3/25/2009, Router arrived on time, shipped from Illinois; interesting, I had called earlier to make sure that I wouldn't be missing some...
One way to nab a good budget 802.11n router is to buy a formerly high-end model that has come down in price. Even if it is dated, we like the design of the WNR834B, which sits vertically on your...
Bad support trumped it all for me. One mishap can lead to weeks of down time or a costly replacement. Buy the replacement from another manufacturer now and forget the hassles.
Pros: Nice look, good connection when it works and very fast Cons: bad connections at times or just does'nt load at all and it very complex I used the netgear product at a friend's house and...
Since updating to the 1.0_41 firmware on my WPNT834 router, I have been unable to obtain a dynamic IP from the ISP. I have been on the phone for around 4 hours with a couple L1 techs and for about...

Sogden's Review of Netgear DG834G 54Mbps Wireless ADSL Modem Firewall Router Wireless Modems and Routers Reviews
I have now had 2 replaced so am on my 3rd. Each one acts the same way. After being switched on for 3 hrs it appears to overheat and lose its connection. Therefore I do not recommend the Netgear...

Guest.'s Review of Netgear DG834G 54Mbps Wireless ADSL Modem Firewall Router Wireless Modems and Routers Reviews
Sky broadband gave us this router when we signed up. It worked straight out of the box. In 6 months, I think I've only had to reset the thing once. Compared to a lot of other home routers, that's...
