A very helpful sales guy at Best Buy recommended this one and told me it was the router of choice for everyone who works there

at the end of the 14 day i destroyed the unit and went to local best buy and bought another brand Router.

I must say that previous Netgear Routers I purchased at Best Buy didn't work, and I did not get good tech support from NetGear.

I am a systems engineer and one day we had an emergency where a temporary solution was to purchase 3 of these routers at worst buy

I purchased this router through best buy and while the first few months were great, after my FIRST router, things went downhill

I have no doubt Netgear messed with my router to force me to pay for phone support

The first, very noticable difference between the two is the Netgear's lack of external antenna(s)

After being told that I've eclipsed the 2 or 3 month free phone support period (with my 8 month old router), I would have to subscribe for anything to be done.

The representative told me that he knew what the issue was, could have it fixed in 10 minutes, and could do it "for free" if I committed to purchasing phone support

And there's no phone support or chat support, only email support

The router works great,not very difficult to setup with a good experient technician's help

After about a month of use everything appears to be working great.

Worked fine for a few months, then it stops working well

Horrible as it worked for about a week, then started acting up and since it's past 30 days, I have no way to return it.

This router was working great; then, only four months after I got it, it just stopped working

Setup was a little tricky, they don't tell you to log into it with the wifi PW on the computer before you attempt to run the setup on the browser which is what I had to do before it successfully worked

Given that the reason I got this was for the key features of easy setup and faster speed I was heartily disappointed by the difficult setup that offered very little in return over my 4 year old linksys router

The setup is essentially impossible without dialing on-line or telephone support

The setup was easy and seamless, I even got the router on a different

I bought this router and was very pleased with the easy setup and slick appearance.

Thank you for a simple router at a VERY reasonable price!

The price is right with this router, but you get what you pay for.

This is a great router, and is capable of very fast speeds at a very cheap price

Very easy to install, good price and very reliable brand.

I've always been an avid D-Link user in the past, but opted out due to buggy firmware updates and the inability to assign MAC Addresses thru WPA/WPA2.I bought the Netgear WNR2000 because of it's cheap price and easy setup features, and I wasn't too concerned with the features of a dual-band router (WNDR3700) because 5 Ghz has a very short bandwidth (approximately 20 feet), and I reside in a two story house and thought that would be a complete waste of money

Both times I had to get on the phone with tech support.

: Tech support is SO bad, it should be a late night act.

The tech support was awful and it is slower than the router I was replacing

I called Tech Support and there was a terrible language barrier

Netgear tech support was worse than useless--at first they refused any assistance on the grounds that somebody else had registered the unit's serial number with them

Didn't really work as I had hoped, requires ethernet connection, will not work on USB drive.

Good deal for the money, but would not recommend for larger residences.

But, Cox talked me into a "better deal" with faster internet service.

I called because I need a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) number as per the warranty info printed on the site

They told me they would love to help me for the low price of 69.99 for six months of technical support or an even better deal of 129.99 for a full year

but i had to call Netgear for customer support because i bought this as a refurb.

I had heard that Netgear customer support is poor, but I decided to try anyway.

And if it doesn't, how does the company (including customer support) address the issues?

Their customer support is absolutely horrible and just don't care

I had heard that Netgear customer support is poor, but I decided to try anyway.

The strength of the signal from my compter farthest away from the router ranges between very good and excellent so the router does have great range.

this is a very good router and easy to hook up and easy to use, and the range is very strong.

After a couple somewhat scientific tests, I would say that the Netgear has poorer range overall than the Linksys

Have owned this less than a year and it drops connection at least twice a day, sometimes three times per hour, with very poor range

The router was easy to set up, has good range and so far (3 weeks use) has been very reliable.

I can recommend this product as a good entry level wireless router.

I will never buy another Netgear product and never recommend this brand to anybody

Needless to say, I'm never purchasing a NetGear product again.

So I called Netgear support and all they wanted to do is charge me a fee to help me with their with an inferior product

Other than those few issues this is a great product and a very good price

600 Router (RT-N56U) promising to more than double speed at double my price.

When you think about Wireless-N Router you think about super speed

and I can get decent speed and range in most of the spots I have tried with this router

My Belkin had limited range, slow speed, and overloaded with heavy use, actually dropping other wireless connections

I thought it was too many people using the internet in my building, but my roommate (she has her own router which is not Netgear) did not get this slow speed

After doing that the wireless signal remains secure indefinitely unless the router is booted again

Even if you're sitting right next to it, you can lose signal and often times, the router will just reset or refresh itself kicking off any connected devices.

Stronger signal distance, but more interruptions in signal then my previous router.

Devices in the same room work great but devices down the hall in our house get a poor signal, and frequently experience connection drops

Hopefully it continues to work as it had previously for 16 months.

This is the third time at least that their hardware has disappointed.

" and I'm happy to say that my answer is "yes, definitely."The WNR2000 is easy to set up and use; it's every bit as fast as it should be in wired mode and its wireless range and power surpass my expectations

If you buy Netgear I promise you will regret the BIG MISTAKE!

NetGear technical forum helped to reset the channel to desired one (6 or 11) and now working fine as of today!. Hope so there wont be any other issues,

My first Netgear WNR-854T worked fine for a month and just quit.

I'm giving this router one start because I shouldn't have to employ work around's to get a product to work as it is intended to work.

Listing attached devices: I sometimes get incomplete information when I get the list of all connected devices

Unfortunately emails would usually stop and logged information was lost whenever the logs became full

One downside is that this model doesn't have a USB port at the back for me to attach my external hard drive to share across my network.

It's a pretty no-frills router, without a USB port for printer sharing or an external hard drive, but it works.

a hard wired connection was fine and worked as well as my D-

When I got the Netgear, I was hoping that installing it would be easier than the D-Link as I had problems that required some odd configuration settings that were proved to me from the D-Link support area

Hope this helps those that have been losing their internet connection frequently.

The wifi is still connected, but the router itself somehow loses its connection to the internet.

I have not had a connection dropped or any other problems.

I have not had any connection issues or problems so far

It held a solid connection and I was able to get the same speed speed from wireless as from wired when close to the router

The item was shipped and got here fine and in good time

Netgear was a hassle to contact and happy to waste my time indefinately on this issue.

Sometimes it refuses to connect and even when it does, it takes a long time to connect

Bottom line, don't waste any time on this product, even though it seems like a good value.

Last router dropped all the time this unit is up and has not disconnected yet, works great

My first Netgear WNR-854T worked fine for a month and just quit.

I offered to mail in the router at my cost, and if it was a software problem, I would pay for it, if hardware problem, they would follow the warranty

They said my router developed a software problem which I have to fix myself or pay 80 dollars for tech support when a better router is available in the market for 50

But I made the mistake of buying a Belkin router last year, and had very unreliable connectivity as a result

After spending 3 days trying to diagnose latency and connectivity issues, I unfortunately had to return this item

, too many products jam the connectivity (a collection of iPad, iPhone, laptops, desktops), and the connection varies with products: I have an older Lenovo laptop (loses wireless connection three times a week) and my wife has an Asus (loses connection once a month)

I have never had such a poor customer service experience as I did with this company.

we had a problem once and returned this for a new one in exchange.. the customer service is great

And their customer service was terrible - as soon as I told

The customer service at Netgear is so terrible, I will never buy another product from them

My first Netgear WNR-854T worked fine for a month and just quit.

I am a medium to heavy network user with 5+ devices connected at a time but this thing started going out in a month and now becomes unresponsive every 3 hours

I tried to inform them of the issue, but after 3 hours of runaround and hang ups I gave up

Have to reboot the freaking thing, then it works, for like half an hour

After many many frustrating hours of trying to figure out what was wrong, and after 3 weeks of futility, the indicator on the home screen began showing that nothing was connected to the WAN port

The first time wasted 3 hours and the techie insisted I pay him $200 for a service plan.
