has great range, my brother was able to receive stable Internet in a separate house diagonally behind mine, before i moved. I have been very pleased. from Tigerdirect.com Installation was a snap. Had just a few resets in the past 15 months. Performance was excellent, including the wireless range. Last week, (Dec 2008) it died. from Tigerdirect.com Pros: Price Cons: died after 60 days "I went looking for a new wireless router and was looking at an N router after about 45 minutes of standing around waiting for some help I was finally talked into this router...the nice part was that I took it home plugged it in and it worked without any setup ( vista ultimate 64 )works through out the house. in the basement out by the pool and upstairs...everything was going great till in the middle of running reports this evening the thing just died.. from Bestbuy.com This is a great router. I used it in my apartment but gave the password to my friend who lived 2 floors above be and he used it too! from Amazon.com The only problem I have had with our wireless set up using this router was having to switch to WEP so my son could use it with his Nintendo DS Lite. I had to re-configure my laptop's wireless card (be sure that you have the latest drivers and SW -- I didn't). from Amazon.com The NETGEAR WPN824 RangeMax Wireless Router is an excellent router. I have been using this router for quite some time and am completely happy with it ... from Amazon.com I am a big fan of Netgear equipment. In fact this router was supposed to replace my trusty Netgear WGR614 that served me flawlessly for over 5 years of continuous power-on service before dying this week. from Amazon.com I purchased this router as an "open box" item about 16 months ago (paid $28. It has worked well since I installed it and turned off those annoying lights. I have 2 PCs and a MAC hardwired and 2 PCs plus a cell phone connected via wireless. I have always kept the firmware up to date and have to deal with an occasional router reboot. from Amazon.com Pros: Insane range i have toshiba x205 sli-6 an ancient ibm thinkpad,ps3 an, xbox 360,psp they all run flawlessly very easy setup for newbies i have roadrunner turbo 10mb down 1mb up and my toshiba which uses a transmenta wifi gets about 9800kbs down in my back yard my router is upstairs in my room !!!!!! Cons: oh i love the blinky lights during the day but at night there a bit much i had to hide the router behind my tv and it still has insane range.. Other Thoughts: i cant what these range routers are going for these days i paid 120$ for mine 2 years ago and i still think thats a great deal considering your getting a reliable router that never drops a connection and ive tried to overload it on purpose.keep in mind i have some times 5-6 devices all using non netgear wifi recievers.imagine if i used rangemax cards wow. from Newegg.com Pros: Amazing stability and reliablity, can double as a wireless repeater, 7 Antennas, DAS BLINKIN LIGHTS (activity indicators for the antennas), DNS Attack proof! Cons: Minor connectivity issues, no loss of connection, but it does have to slow down if your more than 2 or 3 rooms from the router. from Newegg.com
