 NETGEAR WPN824 RangeMax Wireless Router - wireless router
[ External - 108 Mbps - 4-port switch - Ethernet, IEEE 802.11b...more ]
As a 21st-century consumer, computers are an integral part of your life. But does your home computing environment work for you? Even if you already have a wireless network, you've... more...probably found "dead spots" in your home where your Internet connection fades in and out, or drops off completely. Now, say good-bye to those dead spots ... and say hello to the freedom to work (and play) absolutely anywhere in your home! With the RangeMax Wireless Router, your whole house becomes a "hot spot." NETGEAR's exclusive RangeMax technology gives you the longest range of any wireless device on the market today - up to 10 times the wireless coverage of 802.11g. So you'll have a sizzling-fast, consistent connection in every room of your house ... and beyond. Put the NETGEAR RangeMax Wireless Router to work for you, and that's all you need - leave those range extenders, repeaters, and external antennas at the store. RangeMax adjusts to the interference and physical barriers in your home, and delivers up to 500, 000 square feet of coverage - 1000% more than 802.11g. And you don't need to throw away your old wireless devices; RangeMax is 100% compatible with your existing 802.11b/g products and will boost their range and speed by up to 50%. RangeMax is an advanced Smart MIMO (Multi-In, Multi-Out) technology that uses seven internal antennas. RangeMax constantly surveys your home environment for physical barriers and interference and adjusts the wireless signal to compensate for these performance blockers. For example, if you carry your laptop from the family room to the bedroom, RangeMax automatically senses the change and selects from over 100 possible antenna configurations to deliver you the fastest, clearest connection! Everyone will enjoy consistently high-speed connections, everywhere in your house - no drop-outs, and no dead spots. Think you can't set up your wireless router without an engineering degree? Think again. NETGEAR's SmartWizard makes the set-up easy and hassle-free. SmartWizard automatically detects your ISP's network settings, then walks you through each step of the installation process. It's like having your own computer technician, right by your side. NETGEAR also ensures that every computer user in your home network can work and play safely - with a double firewall, WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), and WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access, Pre-Shared Key) Security, your network will have powerful safeguards against unauthorized usage.

Review of NETGEAR WPN824 RangeMax Wireless Router - wireless router by
renee
Advantages: ok in speed
Disadvantages: difficult to set up and high
I also bought one of these back in March and had a hard time trying to use it. I could not figure how to set it up to use it. It just was so difficult. It is not to big to put at the computer and the features look nice but it was not easy to install. It was not even reliable to me either. The speed was ok but I just think that it could have been much better. I paid 70 something for it and it just was not worth it too me. Even tech support was a little ...

Review of NETGEAR WPN824 RangeMax Wireless Router - wireless router by
joshuacaine
I bought one of these awhile back and I found it relatively easy to install. It works much better than the linksys equivalent and it also more visually pleasing. The only thing that I did not care for was way that it handles log files, in case you're a security geek like me. All in all I would purchase this product again. It is a pretty good value for the price indicated. That's really all I have to say.

We have been using this router for almost a year now. Everything we own (laptops, Nintendo Wii, Sony PSP, Nintendo DS) that we need to connect connects fast and stays connected trouble free.

 not for me
Review of NETGEAR WPN824 RangeMax Wireless Router - wireless router by
livingdeadgirl
Advantages: thin, look
Disadvantages: couldn't get set up, difficult for me
I went to purchase this router for my computer since I have two of them. I bought it at Best Buy for 70.00 and something.
The look was nice when I took it out of the box. But I had a hard time trying to get it installed. I even called for some assistance and they could not even help me. Which was very upsetting. It was a very great value. The lights showed up but one and I could not get it to go online at all.
Even Best Buy had recommended ...
