Customer Rating:      Summary: excellent product Comment: read the reviews, mostly good so went for it, made the right choice. I have had this router for about a month and it has been no problem. From taking it out of the box it took no more than 10 minutes to be up and running, very easy to set up. I am no computer geek but I had no problem setting it up and have never had a wireless router before, i`ve only just got a laptop...5 stars from me..
Customer Rating:      Summary: easy peasy to set up! Comment: I like to read reviews before I make electronic purchases, and Amazon is one of the best places to go for reviews.
Based on what I read here, I purchased this router with the free delivery option on Monday evening, it arrived the following Friday.
Just inserted the setup CD, took my time, read each screen carefully to follow instructions to the letter, and within 20 minutes, I was surfing the net wirelessly!
Signal "excellent" all over the house, not tried yet in the garden, waiting for it to stop raining!
Verdict: recommended!
Customer Rating:      Summary: No probs Comment: I'm with Virgin broadband, and bought this bit of kit with a Sweex LW053 WiFi LAN USB 2.0 Adapter to use with my PC with XP. I'm not up to speed with building Networks but got up and running fairly quickly and have had no problems in the 2 weeks I've had this installed.
Very pleased and highly recommended.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Does what it's supposed to! Comment: After living with a Belkin wireless router for all of one day I got fed up with it constantly dropping the internet connection, which happened 4 or 5 times in this single day. So after reading the reviews on here I decided to purchase the above Netgear router which was effortless to install and set up, has provided a stronger wifi signal than the previous Belkin unit, and has not dropped the internet connection once!
It does exatcly as it says on the tin!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Cracking bit of kit! Comment: After initially struggling with the concept of which router i need to buy for my Virgin Broadband M package, i settled on this little beauty.
I must say I am extremely please with my choice, and here's why;
1. Easy as pie to set up (including secure network settings).
2. Great range indoors (my house is of medium 3 bedroom size) and outdoors (signal reaches the bottom of my 70ft garden).
3. Great speed and response from my 2Mb connection (browsing and downloading).
All in all I am over the moon. Although I'm at a loss as to why people have been struggling with this product, I suspect people either didn't read guide properly, or they tried to rush the installation process due to its apparent simplicity.
Anyway I digress......Case and point, great product!

NETGEAR's Cable/DSL 54 Mbps Wireless Router lets you experience the blazing-fast network wireless speeds of 54 Mbps up to five times faster than the popular 802.11b wireless network. These higher speeds make it a snap to web surf, download large files, video conference, stream high-quality digital movies, MP3 music and photos and play online games.
This wireless router also works with 802.11b wireless products so you can use it with your existing 802.11b devices and your new 54 Mbps, 802.11g devices. Auto-sensing chooses the fastest connections possible on your 10/100 Mbps wide area network and four local area network ports. True Firewall (SPI) advanced security provides maximum protection from professional hackers. URL blocking and e-mail alerts provide parents with controls to limit access to inappropriate web sites and monitor children's access. Simple to install, you just follow the cues shown on your PC screen and your router will be up and running in no time. Smart Wizard auto-detects and configures for the best ISP connection, while UPnP? (Universal Plug and Play) makes it easy to use your computers, gaming consoles and other client devices ? wireless and Ethernet ? for gaming, instant messaging, and other applications.
High-speeds propel media-rich content across your network in no time. You can conveniently share your cable/DSL connection with many users on your network with or without wires. Delivers 10/100 Mbps (auto-sensing) WAN and LAN connections and interoperability with 54 Mbps (802.11g) and 11 Mbps (802.11b) devices over a 2.4 GHz band wireless network.
A true firewall secures your network against hackers: Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) and Denial of Service (DoS) attack prevention averts potential threats by scanning incoming traffic and Network Address translation (NAT) shields your networked devices from intruders. Powerful WEP encryption (40/64- or 128-bit) on the wireless LAN conceals your information from eavesdroppers. MAC Address C
