Customer Reviews:
Great Deal

I've had 3 routers in the past 8 years. This one, although, I don't think it's the best performing one; is the easiest to setup and maintain. It works adequately for my needs! I would definitely buy more Netgear Products.

I've always got great service, when placing orders through Amazon.
This item arrived faster than I anticipated; and was just what I expected.
Thanks!

Still ticking after 6 years
I bought this as my first ever wireless router in 2003 along with a Netgear MA401 802.11b card for my laptop. I upgraded a year or two later to the identical looking 802.11g router for myself since I was please with this product. I then hooked this router in my parents home so they would have a wireless network. Four years later, and it's still working just fine for them. So needless to say, this was a great purchase.

Still Going Strong, Four Years After Purchase
I bought this router in 2004, so I've had it in use in my apartment for over four years. It's worked flawlessly during that time, with good connection strength throughout my apartment, and fast download/upload speeds. Interestingly, after I had upgraded from an Apple G4 laptop with a self-installed wireless card to a newer MacBook model with built-in wireless, connection strength and download speeds dramatically improved, leading me to conclude that much of a wireless router's capabilities depend greatly upon whether one's computer has a good wireless card installed. One of the attributes I really like about this router is its small size, which enabled me to tie a shoestring around it and hang it from a nail on the wall in an unobtrusive location. This maximizes broadcast/reception strength and keeps it out of sight.

Very Durable Stuff
I have bought it in 2004 and still using it without any problem..
All I did is updated the software and it is good as anything

Affordable Router....
Netgear is a great brand name and this router is sufficient to get you onto the internet and also be wireless in or outside your home.
