I bought this router to replace A Vizio HD router that started dropping the wireless after three years. Before that, the longest any router I bought would last was less than a year. Even when the Vizio was new, our media streaming would frequently drop and stall. Since we installed this Netgear router 4 months ago, we haven't experienced a single media drop. We run a desktop, two laptops, a server, two smartphones, two game consoles and two wifi Blu-Ray players on this router with almost no trouble. And if you configure your wireless card properly, 54Mbps is very, very nice to have.
Installation was fast, easy and absolutely painless, and though the system specs say it's compatible with Windows and Mac, I did all the setup and configuration on an OpenSuse Linux laptop using the web interface so easily I could almost have slept through the process.
It broadcasts wireless on two separate channels (check my terminology, please), one at 2.4g and the other at 5g. I'm not sure how many devices support 5g yet, but its presence in this router means no worries when we upgrade devices.
The one problem we did have may be more a matter of location than a function of the router. There's one spot, about 20 feet from the router, where the sofa is, that seems to have trouble holding the connection with my wife's laptop. But just behind that is my son's room, and he has no trouble with the connection with his desktop, so it's probably not the router itself. But still, make sure of your router placement. Higher up is better. Properly placed, this router seems to be the best I've tried yet.
I'd definitely recommend this router to anyone looking for a fast and easy home or small business router. Not for a large network, of course, but it handles all our devices with ease.

What's great about it: Great Price, 3 Seperate "Networks", Stability, Size
What's not so great: Nothing so far
I actually went into BBY to buy a cisco router. But when I got there this router was right below it. I wanted the Cisco E2000 but this one boasted better data rates and was much cheaper. Thanks to the sale I got this great product. I am an IT Systems Administrator so my opinion on how easy it was to setup may not be the best gauge. Although, I will say it is extremely easy to setup. The web interface is great. I didn't even realize, until I got home, that this router has 3 seperate wireless networks all with their own SSIDs. I setup one for my internal network of computers, one for my gaming consoles and there is a handy 3rd one. It actually creates an isolated network that cannot communicate back into your internal network. This is good for when you want to have a guest connection for friends to get on when they are over. I hide the first 2 and broadcast the 3rd. I use my Cisco 7921 wireless VoIP phone on it as well and the connection is amazingly clear unlike my old router.
All in all, extremely glad I bought this.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Our first Netgear router lasted for 7 years. It worked great so I knew when I upgraded I would go with Netgear again. Great router for a great price, $79. The range is perfect for my 2000 sq. ft. home.

Overall it was a very good purchase and achived what I needed in a router. My need was for wireless so I didn't the gigabit capability that was offered in the same brand that was an upgrade.

After reading some mixed reviews I decided to get this wireless router anyway. So far it has performed to my expectations. It performs as advertised. The range is excellent too. I have Directv and did noticed that I lost the internet connection once I installed this router. In order to establish the connection again, all of you have to do it reset the network connection from the Directv box directly. Once that is done, Directv will connect to the router.

I bought this on an in store recommendation from the Geek Squad as a replacement for an old Linksys G Router and was not dissappointed. It was extremely easy to set up and within 20 minutes or so I had two desktops, a laptop, an iPad, a smart phone and TV all connected. I also purchased a Netgear USB adapter for a desktop that doesn't have built in wireless capabilities and it also worked like a charm.
I haven't had one connection issue with any device on the system in the month that I've had it hooked up.

This was an extremely easy set up. Much easier than installing from a CD like my previous one. Would recommend changing password to "admin" so people can't see your SSID password. Also has a really good range. Worth the little extra cash for the router.

What's great about it: Easy set-up, Good Range and Speed
What's not so great: Nothing
I researched several routers and then went to BB to talk to a rep about which one would be best. I spoke to Jonathon at the Turner Hill, GA store and he was very knowledgable about routers and computer networking in general. He directed me to this router and indicated that the only difference with this model and the 3700 is the latter has gigabit which I did not need. Therefore, I got this model and it is great.
I had this thing set up in about 15 minutes. The speed that I am getting from it is amazing, although I replaced my modem at the same time with the Motorola surfboard 6121, so the huge increase in speed may be attributed to both pieces of equipment. Nevertheless, they work great together as I am getting up to 25 mbps on my desk top computer and as high as 17 mbps on my notebook. In all, I have one desktop, two laptops, two smart phones, and two dish hd/dvr boxes working on my network and the system is holding up great.
As far as range goes, I live in a moderately-sized ranch home and my set-up is in the master bedroom on one side of the house. There is one spot in my kitchen where I don’t get a very good signal, but everywhere else is great. Also, the bright blue circular light in the middle can be turned off by holding it down for about two seconds and then releasing it. I am happy with my purchase.

What's great about it: This product was very easy to set up.
The setup was very easy. I had it connected in 5 minutes. It works well and I have not have any problems. I have not had to reset it once.
The only negative is that it did not improve performance as much as I expected. I had a 8 year our router. So, I was hoping for a tremendous improvement. It improved but videos still stall sometimes.

What's great about it: Easy to set up. Unplugged old router and plugged in new and I was good to go.
What's not so great: My kindle crashed the internet and had to reboot system
The router was very easy to set up. All 5 computers were connected with ease. I ended up keeping my old Netgear router as this new model did not handle my kindle well at all. My kindle could get on the internet, but often it would crash the internet and I would have to reboot our internet's modem and reboot the router. I gave it a try for a few days, but gave up. I ended up giving it to a friend who needed a new router but only had two or three computers on his network. No kindle or ipad or anything.
