Questions & Answers

Beth D : Does this Net Gear N300 Wireless router eqaual to the one I rent from Comcast?
Shopper : I use to have internet speed download of 15 mg now I have 60 mg is this Netgear router N 300 WNR2000 enough for 60 mg download?
PHUOCBRIAN D : what is the wifi range compared to these 3?Justin D : This router does not feature WiFi in and of itself. It requires a separate wireless solution. In our case, we used UniFi's AC AP Lite access points.Paul P : Can't compare -- don't know anything about the Netgear units. My Airport Time Capsule sits on the ground floor of my two story home and serves my desk top Mac located in my basement, and my MacBook wherever I carry it throughout the house, flawlessly. I have taken it out to my gazebo (between 100 - 125 ft. from my house, and was able to have a stable video chat (Skype) without interference or signal breakup. Hope this helps.

Do not order

worked less than a month, I went to Best Buy and had Geek Squad help me and my tablet works fine, I have had to order another router. When I called Netgear for assistance a man tried to tell me I had computer errors and that it would take $179.00 to repair the computer! I immediately hung up and will in the future by another brand, and before this is over, I may end up with another brand myself!

Exactly what I needed

I needed a modem for my vacation home DSL, and wireless network for internet and printing. I took it to my local telephone company to adust two codes (took 5 minutes), plugged it in when I got home and was up and running within 10 seconds. Excellent range. Very satisfied.

Really good to start with...

To be my first experience with a router it hasn't been bad at all. Not only the price but the easy, quick and very efficient set up made this a really good experience for me. I was able to connect several devices super fast and the signal is really good too. Because while reading the reviews I found out router might not be working same good in about a year I think it was very wise to buy a $3.00 additional warranty to get a replacement whenever it stops working.

Very easy setup.

I was up and running in less than 10 minutes. Set up with Windows 7 was more intuitive than Vista. (I have one of each) However, I suspect this is more attributable to the operating systems than the product. Once they were running, it worked equally well on both.

Great Router!

This router was easy to setup and a joy to use. The secondary guest network feature works like a charm too!

Its ok

Seems to work ok but i just got it. I can tell the range is better than my old 2wire router. i have a solid connection to most devices but i am having a problem connecting a vista laptop. Overall its ok, the price could be lower.

Worked Great for a Year

It seems that companies are only make their products to last only a year anymore. This router worked great for 11 months. Now, the wireless is very sporadic. I have 6 wireless devices and they ALL experience wireless dropout every few minutes to every 15-30 minutes. I have to reboot this router at least 5 times a day and that is just when I get tired of rebooting. Netgear customer service is lacking in desire to help resolve problems with their own products. As soon as the csr found out I had a Linksys media streamer he blamed ALL of the problems on it and would not continue helping me. BUYER BEWARE!!!
