Customer Rating:      Summary: Outstanding Comment: This ADSL Modem Firewall Router & USB Adapter is outstanding. The set up just took 15 minutes and I now have wireless internet. Just like it says on the box.
Good clear instructions well presented.
A super buy.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Good value for money! Comment: Bought an Apple Express card for £65, then realised that it did not have a modem included. Gave it back.
Bought the Netgear for £49.99 which includes modem, three different cables (ethernet, USB and Phone) and the wireless USB2 adapter! Connected my Macbook (using wireless card that came withe the mac) and a Dell dimension (using the Netgear adapter). Works flawlesly.Amazing value.
Couple of points for mac users. The router is compatible with both Windows and Mac OS but not the adapter!!
Second, I had to call the Netgear Tech support to help me install it, 'cause no installation guide for Mac is included. The tech guy was very helpfull and everything was sorted out in about 5 - 10 minutes.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Straight forward installation. Comment: It was straight forward installing this bit of equipment, once I had loaded the set up disc then just followed the instructions. Had the laptop up and running in no time. All seems to be working fine so far!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Consider cheaper alternatives - mine only lasted 2 years... Comment: This product broke at the end of the warranty period and Netgear do not offer repairs to non-US customers.
Probably true of most electronic goods of this ilk but my Netgear DG834G modem stopped working just after the warranty period ended and Netgear were not interested in helping me beyond the warranty period. My advice therefore would be to get the cheapest wireless router you can find... I thought Netgear would be a quality product, but clearly the components all come from the same place and are subject to failure. So, get an extended warranty or buy this as a consumable!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Good bit of kit Comment: Bought as a replacement for a BT voyager router and I have had hassle free broadband ever since. Recommended to anyone haing problems with supplied router/modems, well worth the price.
