I just junked this router today, finally...
I was going to give it two stars because it did work ok for a while, but my boyfriend convinced me to give it one, because his argument is that this thing was top of the line and had just came out when we had originally purchased it, and we should never have had so many issues with it for the price we paid, so his logic won me over and one star it is. We didn't even have this router for a year. And as a note - let me say that I work for my cable ISP, doing tech support for internet, so my modem...

Excellent Wireless Connection / Infrequent Disconnects
This router works exactly as described, for me anyway.Setup was very simple, and I have an "all-green" wireless connection from any room at home, with two different notebooks.You can turn off the blue "disco light" by a simple press of the button in back, because yes, it IS irritating at night.(Though I must confess that it is a little mesmerizing at first, and you may find yourself looking at the lights for a while!)The only bad thing to say about it is that I DO sometimes (once every few weeks...

I am still hoping to get a refund on it
I have never had so many problems with a router. And I am also experiencing those horrible random disconnects, and it seems the only way is to re-boot the router (I have gone through the agony of speaking to phone support 3-4 times and nothing they've told me works). Also, the router has its on firewall which forces the user to turn off his own firewall in order to use the router, which is a RIDICULOUS condition to have.I regret ever buying this Netgear product, I will actively recommend my friends...

Various elements keep failing
We have had this router for about 6 months and it's cost about $1000 in maintenance time.We have to reboot it every couple of days because:1.DHCP stops working.2.Internet (WAN) routing stops working.3.VPN passthrough stops working.We already traded it in once.The second one behaved EXACTLY the same way.It seems that if there is any blockage or routing problem upstream (with ISP, it happens regularly), lots of features start crashing internally and then you have to reboot.Now, add to that:4.Bangladeshi...

Works Great
I was somewhat hesitant to buy this router because the reviews appeared mixed.This was to be the first wireless router that I have owned, and I wanted to avoid nightmares. However, it was a snap to set up and has worked extremely well.I highly recommend it....
