I purchased this NETGEAR router for my apartment studio, and it was very easy to install. I connected it directly to the ethernet cable with internet connection and used the resource CD included, following the instructions on the booklet. I have used the Wi-Fi for 2 laptops and one smart phone and had no problems so far. Excellent performance for a reasonable price. I would recommend it over another brand.
What's great about it: Easy to set up, great performance, good price
What's not so great: N/A

I am not one to EVER write a review, but seeing as how I read most of the reviews on this model before my purchase...my 2 cents might help someone else out. This router was purchased to replace my D-Link which died on me...and what an improvement it was! Super easy and quick installation (not sure what happened with others who purchased this unit). The network was setup and I was able to connect 2 laptops (one of which has Windows 7) in under 5 minutes. I've only been up and running for about a week, but so far there have been no issues at all. Before writing this review I connected my Blu-Ray player to the network so I can stream Netflix, I think the signal strength is much better. Also the WPS feature on it is GREAT!!! Saves you a lot of time from typing in uber long network passwords on your xbox 360 controller or Blu-Ray remote.
The only thing negative I have to say is that I wish this was my first router. Hope this helps someone as it is my first ever review.
What's great about it: Quick and easy 1, 2, 3 installation.
What's not so great: It wasn't my first router

Excellent router for setting up a wireless network in a small to medium size home. Must pay attention to the directions when installing the router, and leave the plastic wrap on the router to insure you put the plugs in the correct place. You may have to disable your virus protection and firewall to install but shouldn't be for more than 15 to 30 minutes depending on how quickly your install the software. I've installed two of these so far in friends homes and both have worked beautifully. Highly recommend this unit.
What's great about it: Great coverage within the house, and quick
What's not so great: Installation is slightly complex but attention to directions will get you through it.

I ventured into the world of building a wireless network having never built any sort of network. I was able to install the router using the clear instructions. It started with ease. I had some initial bumps in attaching my new wireless printer, but after waiting overnight, it simply kicked right in. I'm not sure what I did or didn't do differently that next day. My next step will be to install something in another room and see how the connection works.

I bought this to replace my parent's old Linksys WRT54G, which completely failed. I was able to set this up in minutes and put all the same settings of the old network to save my parent's having to change anything with their devices. It was so nice and easy.
What's great about it: Ease of use/setup at a great price
What's not so great: Wasn't recommended for heavy media use.

DISCONNECTS ALL THE TIME

I switched over to cable internet with Time Warner and I chose to buy my own modem. This modem was recommended by a Best Buy salesman. It worked fine for the first day. After the first day I get at least 2-3 disconnects a day where I lose my internet completely and the only way to resolve the problem is through a reboot of the router. So if you're planning on hvaing a businesses conference over skype or play an online game that requires a stable connection this is not for you. Sometimes I even have to reboot the modem. This router has a log that records any suspicious activity as a DOS log so for a while I became a little paranoid that maybe I was getting attacked or had a trojan. I've done scans and the results have come up negative. I called up my ISP to see if the problem was my cable connection and it wasn't. I'm about to return this product. Since I've gotten it I've only had headaches. Go with a Cisco Linksys instead.
What's great about it: Cheap, looks a little sleek
What's not so great: 2-4 disconnects everyday, unreliable connection,unreliable router logs
This product has... Unreliable connection

This is my first router I have purchased so I have nothing to compare it to. But I can say it has preformed flawlessly. My house is a 1300 square ft. tri-level and the router is in the lower level and it works great throughout the entire house and in the garage. I don't know how well it would work in a larger home but for smaller homes I would definatley recomend this router.
What's great about it: Works great.
What's not so great: Havn't found anyything yet.

Bought this when I signed up for cable internet because it saved me $7/month for their equipment. This was so easy to set up, and now I can have 10+ users in my house logging on to a very secure, very fast wireless connection. Never had an interruption in service, never had any problem at all. The cable installer helped me set it up, which took about 2 minutes (compared to 45 minutes if you go through the Netgear installation CD's). Great equipment. I've only had it 1 month, so we'll see how durable it is..... but so far, it's great!
