Stay away from factory refurbs!

After reading so many glowing reviews on this product I decided to buy it. And, being frugal, I opted for the factory refurbished product. What they don't tell you is that this version doesn't come with a product manual, set-up disk, or a serial number. So, I looked on Netgear's website for set-up directions. They have the product manual (Amazon has a newer version), but no software. I then called Netgear Tech-support. As I drilled down thru the choices on the phone, one of the messages stated that...

Inferior product. Appalling customer support.

Within the first month I noticed that the router was intermittently dropping both wired and wireless connections.During these connection drops the router could not be accessed at all."Ping" commands to the router's IP address were timing out.This indicates a failure either with the firmware or hardware.I submitted an online support request to Netgear, waited a week, and received no response.I submitted another support request, and again was ignored.The third time, I sent a message saying their support...

Once you get 'er going ...

I required a fairly extensive session with a nice Indian tech supporter to change the IP addresses and properly install this router. My PC is run-of-the-mill, nothing special, but the setup instructions are inadequate to the task.Once set up, the router works great, stays out of the way, has great range all over both floors of my house, no problems....

Third time's the charm, right? Wrong...

After a parade of 2 Linksys and 2 D-Link routers dying on me, I decided to try a Netgear.Auto setup worked well, and I was able to get connected.Wow, maybe this time it would be different!Nope... I connected at 54 mbps and within 30 seconds it was down to 1 mbps.Yup, that's right, 1 mbps.I tried reseting everything, but to no avail.It never came back up past 18 mbps, arrrrrgggghhhh...Now, you may be thinking it's a cable modem problem.Nope, the connection flies when hooked directly to the modem...

Works for us.

We are three roommates and share a single internet connection. The setup was a breeze and I could enable encryption easily. The signal is "excellent" everywhere in the house and we have used to watch streaming video, download files in a zippy and stay constantly connected to our VPN. One of those put on and forget about it products that make your life so much easier....
