Easy to use and setup.......2007-06-20

This wireless router is very easy to setup and use. Its reliable and very stable and has given pretty good range.

VERY BAD DON'T BUY.......2007-05-27

keeps on dropping connections...gets stuck and you would have to reset...this is the worst router ever...do not buy..I wouldn't recommend it to anyone...

Linksys has Lost it's Edge.......2007-01-28

I've got 2 wireless 'G' routers: Linksys and Netgear.

I tested them both. I've had problems with both. And when my Dad came to me asking me to setup another wireless network at his house, I chose the Netgear router.

I don't know about the "Super G" as all my wireless equipment may negotiate at 108MBPS but ultimately they stabalize at 54mbps so I don't see a significant gain in this area. Where I do see a gain is in it's user interface and ease of setup. You can't drop a connected device from the router, which I don't like. But it has a lot of features I do like including the ability to block sites and services. You can prevent your kids from going to places they shouldn't be going to. I also like the ease of setup with port forwarding and port triggering. There's an easy help guide on the right navigation bar which explains these concepts in simple terms. The nicest part for me is the Dynamic DNS function which links your router to a dynamic DNS service provider.

As for the router itself, the range is excellent. It has an extended broadcast range option which is great. With it on, I could pick up my network with my PDA from a block away. I usually leave it off as we don't need it anywhere in the house. It has all the standard security functions as any other home router. I will say the page load times and gaming FPS are a little slower than the Linksys but the overall reliability and stability of the router far exceeds the Linksys.

I was a linksys guy until I bought this router. My whole family now has the Netgear routers. The Linksys just collects dust on the shelf. I should ebay that thing one of these days.

Great range, little to no firmware issues!!.......2007-01-11

I've had wireless routers in the past. I've dealt with Linksys routers that would lock up constantly. This router is fantastic! I've rebooted this router *MAYBE* 5 times in the years I've had it...and those times were probably due to our laptops, and not the router! Solid router with great range - not as good as some of the newer models, but gives enough signal to wander our house and backyard without issue - the router is located in our basement!

Reliable for 2 years.......2006-10-03

Seems like many of the reviewers here are quick to blame equipment when they may not fully understand maintaining connections with a wireless router (e.g., place it in a suitable location - not next to your 2.4 cordless phone, power it on *after* the cable modem when power is restored to a system, and don't blame the router when Windows needs to repair its network settings.)

I gone two years (24/7) with this router and a 511 card without one problem attributable to the router.
