NETGEAR RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router WNDR3700 - wireless router

A Very Long Name For Something That Just Sits There And Works!

Advantages: Highly configurable
Disadvantages: That bloody light

The Netgear Rangemax Dual-band Wireless-N Router WNDR3300 ? phew, there, I?ve said it. In reality, it?s a smart gloss black and silver slab about the size of a paperback with lots of pretty lights, the more of these that flash the cleverer you are ? a maxim I?ve stuck by ever since dial-up modems!. What, you mean you want more? Give me strength ? it?s only a bit of computer kit, get a grip. OK, OK, here goes. My existing Linksys wireless-g router has given sterling service for several years, although just lately the mains unit has started smelling funny (or is it ?cos I use it to warm my bare feet?). A friend mentioned that she?d bought this ?Netgear thingy? by mistake, and being a perfick gennelmun, I offered to buy it off her, and before you ask, no, not for a knock-down fee. So why was it the wrong bit of kit for her broadband ...

NetGear DG834N Wireless Router

Advantages: Great stable router with great range and speed
Disadvantages: None found yet

the maximum speeds and ranges will not be attainable by them. As it happens none of my devices have the Netgear USB adaptor so my speeds are restricted to the 54Mbs which is sufficient for my needs. My experience of routers has been limited. This is my 4th router and only the second one that I?ve ever purchased. The other 2 came free with my broadband supplier. I replaced my old router (supplied free by BE Unlimited) because it simply couldn?t handle the number of devices I had and would reset about once every day. In contrast, the DG834N has never reset once in the 3 months that I?ve had it. It is very stable even when I have many devices connected to it. As a test I connected the following all at the same time: Xbox, PSP, Wireless Printer, WAC Music Server, 2x WACS Music Clients, laptop, desktop and all of them connected for days in some cases ...

Netgear WPN824 Wireless router

Advantages: Wireless and Wired connections, easy to install
Disadvantages: Blue ring of light can be annoying, but can also be turned off!

I have recently exchanged my Belkin router for the Netgear WPN824 as I was experiencing regular disconnections with my Belkin and found their customer support was not very good. I opted for the Netgear after various recommendations from friends and reading the reviews on ciao. The Netgear has a nice sleek, modern looking design and has a ring of Blue LEDs on the top that flash/rotate when connected wirelessly. Personally, I find these be a little annoying at night because they are quite bright but they can easily be turned off via a switch on the back. It also comes with stands so it can be put in an upright position. It has some nice green flashing lights on the front to show when each computer is connected to it and wether it has internet connection (as most routers do). This model has a wireless connection speed of 108mbps ...
