Utter shite, and possibly the worst support in the entire world.

Avoid like the plague!

That is all

Maybe its just my router but its never been right

Re: Re: Re: NEVER buy Netgear kit

Ditching our old netgear router and getting a linksys was a fucking relief

hhm... maybe it's YOU?

more training required. Gimme a ring one day

I wanted to have some security, wpa/psk told me to piss off, so i tried the most basic - 64bit WEP. Absolutley will not connect once its enabled, dispite the exact key being on the laptop, just woudlnt connect.

Then it decided a while back that it had had enough, so just wiped itself, losing all my firewall rules etc as i had only backed up the basic config

yesterday i couldnt get on the net for about 5 hours, eventually just wiped it and set it up again and its working fine.

The wireless range, dispite being labelled as 5x the power of 802.11g (its "Super G with extended range"), is shite, and bearly works downstairs.

I was robbed, I think I may also have to go for a linksys sometime in the new year, its doing my head in.

Ours was a pain in the arse to set up, and would drop the connection every couple of hours, despite full signal strength

Meant going downstairs, resetting it + the modem, and repairing the connection.

Was class for downloading on

Linksys WAG3545 or something

Why bother with netgear/linksys etc???

www.ebuyer.co.uk - buy their own branded router/card....have zero problems and save sum dosh

belkin and netgear are useless mind!!!

if i had to choose one of the "names" i would be pushed towards linksys. i;ve just always loved ebuyer's own - never let me down...yet :laugh:

we have linksys its the fucking daddy!!!

its downstairs, and transmits to the 3rd floor with Very good signal!!

we have all netgear. works perfectly.
