Reading reviews…

However, range was no better (maybe a little less) than my 3 year old Linksys G router on the G or the N band. The crushing blow however is intermitant disconnections every 15 to 20 minutes for no apparent reason, the last of which happened within 10 feet of the router, at which point I hooked up my old Linksys and made plans to run an ethernet cable to my new N equipped computer. After reading the other reviews, I find it very dissappointing that these problems have plagued this router since it was introduced over a year ago and have not been addressed by Netgear. from Amazon.com Has been the bane of my home network. Old G router was fine. If you like troubleshooting technology, buy one of these or go work for Netgear, they need help. from Amazon.com Having a problem with power-on: I use Comcast and if the power goes on the comcast modem and this WNDR3300 simultaneously, then both wired and wireless connections do not work - I get IP 169 on the wired Macintosh, and 192 but no connection on the wireless Lenovo. But if the WNDR3300 power-on is delayed by a minute, then it all works fine. I suspect this is a Comcast issue not a Netgear, but not sure yet. One more complaint: the flashing blue lights on top I find very annoying, but easy to shut off if you tap the top big button for a second. from Amazon.com So I purchased this router, the Netgear WNDR3300 after my last Netgear router conked out. For the first couple months, it worked decently. from Amazon.com I've dealt with several different types of wireless routers, so I wasn't expecting a lot of problems with this Netgear router. Fortunately, I was not disappointed. from Amazon.com This Netgear router worked fine with clients connected directly to it -- setup was easy and the range was fine within our 1000 sq ft apartment -- but it would not reach the rooftop, where my home office is located. I installed a Hawking 300N wireless range extender, and began to uncover problems. from Amazon.com I bought this one because right on the box, it says "up to 10x" the range of other routers. It was tough enough to get it working -- I finally had to shut down everything including my cable modem (which required removing the battery) -- and when it finally came alive, I found that my Internet connection dropped every three or four minutes. I called Netgear support for help, and they said that based on the distance over which I was trying to communicate, the router was behaving normally. The service tech was quite unconcerned about the fact that my old "G" router worked fine (although at a "low" signal strength) at the same range, despite the promise on the box. from Amazon.com The product worked fine with my apple computers. But, for windows, it is a bad, very bad. It may be the adaptor rather than the router, but I will never buy NETGEAR again! from Amazon.com I expected it to take 2 weeks, maybe 10 days...it shipped monday and got it wed. Pulled it out and setup was a breeze. Need to pay attention to the normal info in the box like the 10.0.0.1 ip and admin-password default signin and password, but netgear menu was normal, just what I expected. What I didn't expect was the immediate online update built right in(definitely cool). from Amazon.com DOn't know why this router gets so many poor reviews but its RANGE is great much better then my previous rangemax infact not a dead spot in the house where in the next room i used to loose a bar has top speed of 270 mb (in 5ghz mode), can't beat it for what it cost,word of advice check netgears website first to see if your one of the few that may be affected by the known connection issue all my systems are free and clear no problem here I recommend this product so far very easy to use and setup aswell great features from Amazon.com
