Strengths: 108 Mbps connection if the other devices can support

Weaknesses: range could be better

Summary: I've got this one as a replacement for a US Robotics 108 MBps that died suddenly. While it did not have any issues with other 108 devices from other manufacturers, the range is sensibly smaller that the USR one. The firmware is OK, easily upgradeable. I could not find yet a way to configure it as a bridge reliably, but supposedly it is possible. Connection while it works is rock stable, no droppings, but as I said the range is not that great even with a external D-link antena

Strengths: 2g speed

Weaknesses: cost, wireless connection

Summary: I have been using it for a few months. The connection is not stable specially when there are other routers in the vicinity. It also lacks any QOS functionality. Works ok for home use and has support for DDNS which is good. Overall ok router to own and use.

Strengths: Slick design, easy setup, signal strength is good, support new security features

Weaknesses: My laptop never works in the 108Mbps mode.

Summary: This router is a good economic router for most 802.11b/g devices. The price used to be cheap but now need to spend more to get it. The shape and color is pretty beautiful, but nothing suprising. It works great with my laptops with newest security features and the setup process is very easy. Signal strength so far is good and I never lose connections. The only thing is that my laptop never works in the advertised 108Mbps mode, probabily my build-in card is not Netgear and does not support that mode.
