Reviews around tech support (4.83 of 5)

  • Worked with Netgear Tech Support to try different settings on both units.
  • Don't know how their tech support is because I didn't need them :
  • I called netgear tech support and after doing their "self check" they said it was working
  • After an hour, it appeared it was still not working and the tech support ordered me a new router
  • The worst part is Netgear's tech support is just about useless

Reviews around price (4.55 of 5)

  • This is a really nice price for a router, and it does the job fine

Reviews around brand (4.33 of 5)

  • Binding a device to a fixed IP address doesn't work as well as it did in the Tomato firmware on the Belkin, but seems to take hold eventually
  • This replaces a D-link that I had that was difficult to log into and in which the wireless function failed after only a few days
  • Netgear seemed like a decent brand but noooo, they had to waste my time with this terrible product
  • Netgear used to be a reliable brand and updates were never an issue for me, but it seems like they’ve either layed off the wrong software engineer or provoked them into leaving, as their products don’t seem sound software wise.
  • I had old version of this that lasted YEARS with no issues, but new version is not dependable, not sure I can trust this brand anymore, reminds me of faulty Belkn routers.

  • Not happy with this; could be my setup but seems to drop often
  • Easy setup and takes you to the settings the first time you connect
  • Do you want the Smart Setup Wizard to try and detect the connection

Reviews around speed (2.94 of 5)

  • I went to use this reconditioned router with my Fios internet and the Verizon guy tested it and told me it wasn't working properly, which my husband and I had figured out, because the speed was so slow.
  • This is a 2GB router, not 5GB...which will slow down the download speed on your speedtest if you live in an apartment building with other people sharing your channel (google it)***I had bought this router to support my TWC Spectrum up to 100mpb internet plan
  • Really great for average size home, good speed, easy set up, I did it on my phone, haha
  • Good speed, signal strength good, data transfer via wifi ok.
  • Got the modem in fine, but the speed is horribly slow on wireless.

Reviews around customer service (2.18 of 5)

  • It just sucks because until then, I won't have a router and this process could take a week or so.tl;dr: customer service takes forever but they'll help you out a lil, and maybe I just had a really useless router (for the second time now) but it was frustrating as heck

Reviews around people (1.00 of 5)

  • I would like to know why some people have terrible problems with some models while others don't have any
  • I found more people having similar issue not getting more than 30 mbps over wifi
  • I don't recommend this cheap product if your building is an apartment and there are other people sharing your channel...which slows down the speed from a router that only supports 2GB and not 5GB.
  • While many people have reported problems with the Genie app and inability to connect, I found no useful solution
