Manufacturer Limited Warranty period (parts): 1 year
Manufacturer Limited Warranty period (labor): 1 year
Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: more than 1 year
Pros: Fairly reliable, decent range. A G router's 54 speed is plenty fast enough for most internet use. No need to get a faster wireless router for most uses - even Wii games and youtube videos perform fine through this router. Three computers are sharing access with this router and performance has been fine.
Cons: Archaic software to manage the router, especially regarding security. Feel like I'm back in the days of DOS. :-) Better if you don't need to restrict use to only authorized devices. But if you have neighbors living relatively close and wish to limit access, the software to limit access is iffy (one adapter I had would never get cleared to pick up the signal no matter what I did).
Other Thoughts: When this model first came out, reviews were mixed to say the least. I get the impression that, even more so than automobiles, new models for these small electronic devices may need a fair amount of field use before they modify and get it right. By the time I got mine, it seems a lot of the early problems were worked out. I have mine on the stand with plenty of air space around it to minimize the heat issue that may contribute to premature demise of this unit. Been relatively trouble free for over 3 years.

Other Thoughts: This is the 2nd Netgear router I've owned. My previous one I used for about 7 years without any problems, but it didnt have wireless capability so I bought this new one.
