Takes less than 20 minutes for setup. Do what it says, and you're golden.
The Netgear Genie app is pretty handy. With that installed to my Android device, I can access files stored on my WD My Book external hard drive that lives on my home network. I can get the music, photos, documents, etc. It's faster access than the WD software installed on the laptop. Add-on features like that rarely work so well. I'm impressed.
I've not had any hiccups related to the Netgear device.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This router has quit on me...

Have there been any reliability issues with this router? I purchased October 2014 and now this router doesn't perform. I continually have to power off and then power on router to get it to send wireless signal to my devices. Usually works for a while then I will have to do the same thing in an hour. Now, it doesn't do anything no matter if I power it off and then back on. It is attached to a modem. No problems with modem, as I am typing this while hard wired from the modem.
Would netgear offer an equivalent replacement? This is an $80 router that hasn't lived up to expectations. Thanks, Jeffrey Young
That's a sure sign that your router is toast. The reliability on these guys is pretty good. NETGEAR would know if NETGEAR will offer up a replacement. NETGEAR routers are backed by a NETGEAR limited 1-year Hardware Warranty. If it's bad, they should replace it.

How far can I expect wifi to range?

I have not tested the extent. I can get a clear signal for streaming from the farthest corner in an attic bedroom a floor above the router. When I go outside and shut the patio door, it gets spotty about ten feet from the door. Apparently it's no match for a thick double pane sliding glass door. The router is right inside the door, so that disappoints.
