Overall Review:
I purchased this to replace an aging D-Link DGL-4100, which suddenly started giving me problems recently. This unit seems pretty well-made for the price, and reminds me of what Netgear was like 20 years ago, when they made good stuff. Indicator lights aren't as bright as most others are, which is a good thing. Data throughput is great -- I saw a 10 mbs download increase and a 5 mbs upload increase to my broadband speeds by replacing my old router with this and no other changes - seriously! I am running a gigabyte 8-port switch, a LinkSys WRT54GL (acting as a WAP only), a Roku 3 via a Netgear wireless bridge, 2 laptops, 2 servers, a Samsung ethernet laser printer, and a Verizon Network Extender through this and the switch. With media streaming on my server, Roku, and massive downloads via uTorrent, this router purrs like a kitten. For the price, I would consider this an outstanding value for the money. So far very stable with latest firmware. Less than 20 minutes to configure -- the UI is simple, but well organized, easy to understand and navigate. Recommended.
