Works Great For Me.
- Pros: Good Connection, Good overall speed, No Connection Drops as others have posted.
- Cons: Price. None really.
- Other Thoughts: My laptop is a "g", and I'm running the router in g mode, auto channel, up to 130mbps - "Neighbor Friendly Mode - Default speed up to 130 Mbps in presence of neighboring wireless networks."
And all is working as expected. I have not had to reset the router at all and it has been up and running for 14 Days
- Pros: High security, nice GUI, easy to setup, solid device. I do not understand why people are leaving bad feedback here, I have owned this device for a long time, and I did not have a single problem with it. My wife is using her laptop (with Windows XP Pro) which is about 50 feet away from the router and the internet connection is really really fast on her laptop, it does not drop the connection, she gets five bars, moreover the wireless NIC is running on G band so I set the router to the G band. People are saying that when you switch to the G band, it is really terrible, I don't get it. May be they have too many wireless or cordless devices in the same area, isolate the device you won't have a problem. I hardwire my desktop PC to this badboy and I have not had any problems so far. Make sure to update the firmware.
- Cons: None so far. Don't be fooled by the comments like "what kind of a wireless router is that, it doesn't even have any antennas" It is funny, if that was the case they would rather build GPS systems with 10000 antennas, but you see you don't even see antennas on them anymore, just better technology. Besides this router has 3 antennas inside.
- Other Thoughts: I have used Netgear and D-link products for a long time and this product sure deserves 5 stars!

Not bad for what I paid!!
- Pros: DD-WRT capable! Wireless N seems pretty good. I got it for cheap as a refurb!!
- Cons: The administrative interface will lock up often when I make changes. I have DD-WRT on there, which is great, but many times the admin CP will lock up on me when I try to "Apply Changes" - this ALWAYS requires a reboot to fix, but at least the router still works, so it won't kick anyone off until you actually reboot.
- Other Thoughts: I almost bricked this router. I flashed from the netgear interface to a DD-WRT std (standard) firmware, which is WRONG. MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THE SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS!! If you don't first flash to the mini the way DD-WRT forums explains, you WILL be sorry.
I was able to fix the situation by TFTPing the mini DD-WRT then upgraded to a STD. :)
works great for me
- Pros: Bought it refurbished here from newegg, works great for the casual browsing experience. Also, streaming video via SlingPlayer, youtube etc work great.
I have my laptop, my iphone & my gf's laptop & iphone always connected through this router. No dropped connections yet.
$23 for a N router which works great, can't beat that
- Cons: - Height is a little too much but it fits in my TV cabinet. Might be a problem for others though.
Pathetic
- Pros: Makes a Nice Paperweight. Cheap if you buy it as refurb.
- Cons: Just about everything else. 'Smart wizard' software they claim is in the box doesn't exist, including on the website. Incredibly complex, non-intuitive setup. Although they claim a 30 day tech support with refurb, in actual practice this doesn't exist. The only way you get to talk to a live tech is to buy their 'premium' tech support which costs more than the router itself. All around, something to be avoided, unless you really enjoy wasting time and money. My first (and last) netgear product
