When looking to go wireless in the computer world it is an absolute minefield when it comes to wireless routers/modems. I sat at my latop(tethered to the telephone socket with wires) scouring google for write ups about this router and that router when i came across this one. Now this is rated as being the best selling router/modem in the UK and has been for some time. I think i paid around £40 from ebuyer.com. I chose it because of the fact its reasonably priced. Its a good trustworthy brand and it seemed to come up to scratch on speed.
Upon opening the box the installation was very simple indeed. I just followed the instructions that came with the router and hey prsto i was wireless on my laptop.Software is easy to install and self explanatory. Its not the fastest band of router on the market but for what i needed it was ample. Router setup if you need to make changes within the router menu can get a bit complicated if you dont know what you are doing but that is like all routers. If your unsure then give netgear a ring on their 24/7 helpline.
I recently changed isp and thought that it was going to be a hastle changing the router settings but i was very wrong. Just popped the router cd in and ran through the setup. entered my new login details and away you go. Back in business. If you are looking for a simple, easy to set up router with good speed capabilities than you cant go far wrong with this one.
