What's great about it: Value and performance
What's not so great: Range is limited
I use this for my small apt which up to now (3 years) has been great. So much so that I decided to get one for my parents' house. My parents live in a sprawling ranch house. The reception is good in rooms immediately surrounding the home office (where wifi router is located) but not in the far edges of the house. I'll prob have to get a repeater (or tell my parents not to use their laptops in those areas).

What's great about it: not much
What's not so great: Dead
I bought this online. The delivery tracking showed it sat for 3 days 30 miles away. The delivery tracking showed it still 30 mile away when it was at my door. The customer service rep said I should call to find out why. No. It is not my responsibility until I take possession. But; no help in getting what I already paid for. Now it is dead. If you want something reasonably priced which functional life will not exceed it's warrantied life, this is it.

What's great about it: The price and ease of setup.
What's not so great: Tech support is very poor (in the Phillippines). This router does support AirPrint.
Dispite talking with several tech support people, none could solve the problem. All had different answers from buying another more expensive model to not knowing what to do. The web site netgear.com advertises AirPrint is supported with any printer. My HP Officejet 6310 could not print even after hard wiring to the router. The Netgear Genie gives you easy instructions and even recognizes my printer. But Apple devices state "Printer not found." The tech guys don't know why my Apple devices can't find the printer. I will try another brand and have BEST BUY find the right combination of router and printer. For simple Wi-Fi connections the router works fine within 30 feet. Don't expect more
This product has... Short range, slow connection, Reliable connection, no airprint

What's great about it: I get a full signal that hasn't dropped even once.
My wireless laptop stays in my bedroom. The router is at the opposite end of the house and I get a full signal that doesn't drop. Installation for the router was so easy that I didn't even need to use the installation disc that came with the router.

What's great about it: Does just exactly what; and more of what it should
What's not so great: complicated to set up
I bought the unit to stream music from my Computer to my new stereo, and although it took help from Comcast to set it up it does that so well that I now have access to 19,000 extra stations from World wide services that i'd never heard of. Looks great and is reliable and it was relatively inexpensive! Bravo Best Buy!

What's great about it: It has worked flawlessly so far!
What's not so great: Could have been easier to install.
The salesman recommended this router. When I went to install it, there was no ethernet cable. Wish I would have discovered that at the store. Had to call the Geek Squad twice to get the job done. However, it has worked great -- without fail -- since I got it going.

What's great about it: Cheap
What's not so great: Unreliable Connection, Low Speed
For five people using it all over the house, this little piece of plastic cannot do the job. It can't handle all of our technology. A couple of computers, an Xbox, and some cell phones. It is constantly cutting out and has very low download speeds. We can't have more than two people on the internet without it slowing down. It's not very expensive and there's a reason for that.
