Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this modem to replace the horrid Cisco-Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless-G Broadband Router Cisco-Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless-G Broadband Router I bought and returned, I made a review about that horrible router as well with video showing some problems. This modem is very small but big on reliability! I was worried about its performance because I never used a Netgear before, but I'm glad it didn't disappoint me! This router is so simple to setup and has plenty of guides to help you plug things in for the novice and it also has the admin information right on the router along with username and password in case you ever forget what it is if you ever reset router, just be sure to change the username and password for security reasons! I also got the router working with my connection straight out of the box with no configuration! Truly plug and play! You can view that in my video review. I use it wired to my desktops and wirelessly to my laptop and my cellphone which is a Nokia E63-2 Nokia E63-2 Unlocked Phone with 2 MP Camera, 3G, Wi-Fi, Media Player, and MicroSD Slot--U.S. Version with Warranty (Ultramarine Blue) and it works flawlessly. Now this router has the word "range max" in it for good reason! To give you an example of the range of this router, I went 310 feet and my cellphone still picked up the signal and I was browsing the web! When I reached 312 feet the signal cut off. If that's not range I don't know what is! Also if your wondering how I know the exact range, I used google maps to measure distance from my house to how far I walked, yes I can be that detailed at times, LMAO. It has a nice simple admin section to configure the router. If your wondering about security features, you can set the security of your router to these: WEP WPA-PSK [TKIP] WPA2-PSK [AES] WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] You can also block websites easily in the admin section too! The admin section has these categories to enter and configure: Setup Wizard Add WPS Client Setup Basic Settings Wireless Settings Content Filtering Logs Block Sites Block Services Schedule E-mail Maintenance Router Status Attached Devices Backup Settings Set Password Router Upgrade Advanced Wireless Settings Port Forwarding / Port Triggering WAN Setup LAN Setup Dynamic DNS Static Routes Remote Management UPnP Web Support Knowledge Base Documentation All in all it is a fantastic reliable router which did not disappoint me!
