Advantages: Very fast speeds especially with streaming video Disadvantages: wireless technology used is still being worked on
My office has been begging for wi-fi to be setup for the longest time and the answer was always 'it's not secure'. Well, finally our networking guy found something that offers enough security that he feels comfortable in providing the office with wi-fi networking! This wireless router is not only sleek looking but it does it's part in keeping us secure from those hackers out there.
The speed from this wireless router is impeccable. It states that ... ...6 times further distance wi-fi access than 802.11g. The data transfer rate is 300 Mbps. Awesome coverage considering our office is not that small and I have yet to find a nook or office which doesn't have good reception. I'm in the IT field and in such I work with large files, streaming videos and other high resource files. I've yet to have anything to even come close to challenging the reception of this wireless router. To say the least, I'm impressed.

Advantages: Only close range works fine Disadvantages: Cheap wide range, pathetic draft-n connection, reboots
I have tested this wireless router thoroughly and came with my conclusion -- It is official junk! For a lot of reasons, for a near $100 Wireless-N router with the specs that it offers does not meet up well. One of the biggest issues with it is range. I have tested a Linksys notebook wireless adapter first to test how far the range goes. Distance from 10 to 20 ft was good. Now going about past that I notice the signal started falling off and then ... ...you the truth. Now if I did the same with a Linksys WRT54G or Range Booster I would have signal no problems.
Don't let the three antennas full you. In this day and age it is hard to find a good and great Wireless N router regardless the brand. The draft-N feature of this router is a big joke! The biased remark that claims to say it has great range in many rooms doesn't even come close. So there is a few things wrong with this router. It's those ...

Advantages: Small, Sleak and Slim Disadvantages: Short Range
I have recently purchased this wireless router. I give this an overall positive rating. However, I was a little dissapointed with the range. I have 100% signal EVERYWHERE in my home. I have it set up in an upstairs bedroom and all of our computers are downstairs.
However, when taking the laptop to the back porch, I have VERY low to no quality signal. I was hoping to be able to sit on the porch and play online and relax when the weather permits but ...

Advantages: Easy to Setup, Detailed Instructions Disadvantages: Price
...research and found that this Netgear model had some of the best reviews. Installation of this router was super easy and the directions were very clear. After plugging everything in, the detailed instructions made it very simple to establish a wireless signal and my laptop was able to connect to the wireless network with ease. Now I can use my laptop in any room of the house and share the same fast internet connection that my PC has. Great Buy! ...

Advantages: cheap, easy installation, durable. Disadvantages: easily get disconnected, complicated step in setting up network key
You can actually get this router for 20 bucks in bestbuy or other electronic shop. This router actually is pretty good for its price, the installation process is very quick and easy, and it also guide you step to step to set up a network key. The process of setting up network key though is a little complicated. You really need to write down the password because once you lost it you won't be able to retrieve it and you have to reinstall the router ... ...greatest signal since getting disconnected even if you are in the same room as the router is pretty common. But that is not a really major problem, because usually the computer will try to reconnect in a few seconds. For it's price it is a good deal although you might want to look for something else if you have extra money. ...
