Strengths: Fantastic signal strength; excellent build/appearance quality; fully featured; some models marked to include gigabit wired switch; easy to setup.
Weakness: Rebooting router after applying changes takes in excess of 1 minute; Wireless N speed not as fast as D-Link; no USB storage capability; no USB print sharing.
I purchased a WN834M model at Staples. It was labeled "Limited Time Offer - This wireless router has been upgraded with Gigabit ports." When I took it home I discovered that it functioning and recognized AND labeled on the case as the WNR854T. So, if you can find similarly labeled boxes, you will get a significant upgrade. I was considering the New N Apple Airport and the D-Link N Xtreme 655. I...
Strengths: Draft-N, works with Dell 1500 Draft-N wifi card for my laptop! No external antennas.
Weakness: Still just DRAFT-N, who knows if it will be upgradeable. Still holes in coverage. No external antennas.
Easy to set up, at least in terms of what I had already done for my prior router. Setting up wifi security, DHCP, login to Comcast and Mac Address cloning was no problem. Right off the bat, worked great. What's interesting is that the WN511T card I bought for my wife's laptop is superior (almost 2x the speed of the card I bought it for in the first place ... the draft-N card for my Dell Inspiron...
Strengths: Range and Speed Cool design GigE ports
I recently moved to a new home approx 2800 Sq. ft. I was getting dropped connections and dead spots. I wanted a high end router and got the RangeMax NExt Gigabit Edition. I am getting 100+ Mbps connections between my computer in my study and my daughter's laptop streaming our vacation videos wirelessly. The zones in my kitchen where I never used to get signal is all hotspots now. Overall a very...
Strengths: Great wireless coverage and speed, Gigabit ports
Weakness: Have had a couple of DHCP renewal errors with the latest firmware (1.4.09NA)
I replaced my D-Link DI-624 because it would drop connections on my kids' computer during games fairly frequently. I know it wasn't a wireless problem on the other router because the router was less than 10 feet from the PC. Anyway, I put in the new Netgear router and could not get the connection to drop at all. I copied about 20GB of movie data from my server and it worked flawlessly at 300Mb. I...
Strengths: Awesome
Weakness: n/a
Easy setup and really screams. A little pricey but still has great value. I would recommend to anyone who is looking for performance and reliablity. Interested in tech support since I have owned previous Netgear routers and tech support was not that great then.
Strengths: has integrated gigE
Weakness: Range is abysmal, expensive, max throughput is nowhere near 300Mbps
I am a consultant for SMB networks and high end home networks. As such I was salivating to get my hands on anything "draft-N." I placed orders for all the gear recently announced and the only set of equipment I received thus far is the RangeMax Next (based on Marvell draft-N chipset). I figure all the draft-N gear is unlikely to be upgradable to real 11n, but if the performance is there, it might...
Strengths: SUPERB range and speed
Weakness: Setup, at least on Vista 64-bit, is cumbersome.
Off the bat, let me say that I would purchase this router again, despite the problems I had with the installation. The distance, through 3 walls, is still about 120-150 feet. And through one wall about 200+ feet. During configuration of my router, even after upgrading to the latest firmware (1.4.19), it hung on restart. The best solution was to unplug the router for 1 min, restart, and continue....
Strengths: Fast and good Wireless Connection
Weakness: Works great for a few months then dies....4th unit now
I bought one Feb 2007. I am now doing an RMA for the third time. A Google search will show WNR854T Green ring of death. Verified it is not power or network. Also have to reboot the router about every 3 weeks. I can
Strengths: Cheaper than Linksys
Weakness: Connection drops on my PS3, Couldn\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t even connect with my Wireless G laptop.
I bought this on recommendation from the salesman at Fry\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s and because it was $40 cheaper than the Linksys 350N. Hooked it up and immediately noticed that the admin software is incredible slow.. Each update takes a couple minutes to take effect.More importantly, when gaming online with my PS3, the connection dropped every 10 minutes. This NEVER happened before with my Linksys...

so far so good
Strengths: was easy to setup, get consistent signal all over my apartment, got a great deal on it
Weakness: no included manual(?), takes over a minute to save router configurations
I recently got a new laptop and so decided to take the plunge and get a wireless router. I'd been using one of the old school blue metal netgear wired routers for the past 6 years and it has never failed me so I figured I'd go with netgear again as I've had problems with dlink and linksys equipment in the past. However, upon reading reviews of most wireless routers it seemed like...
