Strengths: None
Weakness: Did not work
After more than 4 hours with Tech support and 6 Tech support people, could not get it to work for wireless networking. The final insult, was that they would over night me a new one for $29.00 charge my credit card for a new one and then credit my account after they received the broken one back. It you purchase one good luck
Strengths: Pretty box, nice paperweight
Weakness: Operation, tech support, manufacturer's willingness to support
I purchased the router with seven 311 access cards, for use on computers that interface with financial websites. Router would NOT allow connections--unplug the router and it works fine. Seems there is a firmware problem. Tech Support is worse than banging your head against the wall. First they send you to morans in India, where accent and common sense stretch your ability to get anything...
Strengths: Backwards Compatible: Can accommodate older wireless cards and adapters among computers in our house (particularly WEP encryption). Otherwise the speed is far better than G.
Weakness: Set-up: while the program is easy. It did not run on my older desktop with an XP home edition OS. I don't know why. I had to use my laptop to use the set-up disk.
The range and speed are as advertised - great improvement on my G router (which melted down) and the G+ router from Belkin which I had to return because it could not accommodated WEP as it advertised. Obviously the speed is reduced when using 64-bit WEP encryption, but everyone is happy in the house. I was convinced to get this model as it allows me to lean forward (for the future when there's...
Strengths: Very stable with the latest firmware updates
Weakness: You have to deal with Netgear's tech support
I got this router from Netgear support directly because my WNR854T would not access hotmail, google earth, or any other mapping software. It had a lot of speed but if I cannot access my mapping software when I bring my work home with me, what good is that? I had to spend an hour to have Netgear "downgrade" me from the WNR854T to this WNR834B. I am VERY HAPPY that I made this decision, since this...
Strengths: Easy to set up.
Weakness: only a 6 ft Cat5 cable.
I have never set-up a wireless network before. This was so simple. I can pick it up across a parking lot on my laptop easily (through Al siding and a brick wall!) Great product.
Strengths: Got very helpful support when setting things up, plenty of setup options, 4 gigbit ports to hardwire important computers
Weakness: Can't secure to wall, internal antenna, options are a little bit confusing
I bought two of these and when I ran into a little bit of trouble called support. They were very helpful (accents but not hard to understand) and he got me up and running quickly. I don't like the internal antenna because that means I have no choices as to upgrading to more powerful antennas later (I have not had a chance to really test the distances which this thing works well). However, it is...

Netgear's entry-level draft 11n wireless router doesn't include gigabit Ethernet. But it does have something that many people have been waiting for.

If you want to buy a draft-n router now, the RangeMax Next is your best choice, with very good features, setup, and ease of use, and reasonable performance.

Netgear has always offered a setup program that is easier to understand than what the competition provides. The Netgear NEXT setup, while similar to previous Netgear routers, doesn’t force proprietary terms on you such as SES or AOSS just to get your laptop connected to the Web, relying on simple explanations. Yet, the Belkin N1 configuration program is still a bit easier to use; the Netgear...

Rangemax just OK for new (non-final) standard
Strengths: web content filter, Tons of user-configurable settings. easy setup, easy firmware upgrade.
Weakness: Little too big, can't mount to wall, no storage link for usb hard drives (for network storage). wireless hiccups with 802.11G cards.
I am in the Lan/Wan business for a fortune 500 company, so my ideal router is one that is free, and if that cannot happen then the cheapest, because one day all will stop working. I have had the linksys b routers, motorola g routers, dlink N routers, belkin and this netgear rangemax. I liked the router for its functionality (n speeds)at first but started feeling hiccups on g cards around the...
