As a 21st-century consumer, computers are an integral part of your life. But does your home computing environment work for you? Even if you already have a wireless network, you've...
more...probably found "dead spots" in your home where your Internet connection fades in and out, or drops off completely. Now, say good-bye to those dead spots ... and say hello to the freedom to work (and play) absolutely anywhere in your home! With the RangeMax Wireless Router, your whole house becomes a "hot spot." NETGEAR's exclusive RangeMax technology gives you the longest range of any wireless device on the market today - up to 10 times the wireless coverage of 802.11g. So you'll have a sizzling-fast, consistent connection in every room of your house ... and beyond. Put the NETGEAR RangeMax Wireless Router to work for you, and that's all you need - leave those range extenders, repeaters, and external antennas at the store. RangeMax adjusts to the interference and physical barriers in your home, and delivers up to 500, 000 square feet of coverage - 1000% more than 802.11g. And you don't need to throw away your old wireless devices; RangeMax is 100% compatible with your existing 802.11b/g products and will boost their range and speed by up to 50%. RangeMax is an advanced Smart MIMO (Multi-In, Multi-Out) technology that uses seven internal antennas. RangeMax constantly surveys your home environment for physical barriers and interference and adjusts the wireless signal to compensate for these performance blockers. For example, if you carry your laptop from the family room to the bedroom, RangeMax automatically senses the change and selects from over 100 possible antenna configurations to deliver you the fastest, clearest connection! Everyone will enjoy consistently high-speed connections, everywhere in your house - no drop-outs, and no dead spots. Think you can't set up your wireless router without an engineering degree? Think again. NETGEAR's SmartWizard makes the set-up easy and hassle-free. SmartWizard automatically detects your ISP's network settings, then walks you through each step of the installation process. It's like having your own computer technician, right by your side. NETGEAR also ensures that every computer user in your home network can work and play safely - with a double firewall, WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), and WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access, Pre-Shared Key) Security, your network will have powerful safeguards against unauthorized usage.

Disadvantages: None other than price, which is pretty standard anyway...

...World and pick up a Netgear WPN824 RangeMax Wireless Router. Admittedly, our decision was lent significant bias by the existence of a USB receiver sitting lonely and unused in the back room, but it's not a decision I can say I have any regret for at all. If anything I'd give credit to the man who now sits at home sans an adapter with which to make the most of his router. Having harbored a basic dislike of PC World for some time now, Staples ...

Review of NETGEAR WPN824 RangeMax Wireless Router - wireless router by fbxiii

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

...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 ... Read review

Review of NETGEAR WPN824 RangeMax Wireless Router - wireless router by paulhanton

Advantages: Easy set up, good signal, reasonable price
Disadvantages: Horrid blue flashing light

I have known for some time that I needed to get a wireless connection at home. I have two PC's and a laptop. One downstairs for work (the laptop I take out when needed), and an upstairs machine which has become my youngest sons machine for homework (occasionally) and games. I am okay at computers but never having set up a wireless network went into PC World and asked their advice, bad move number one, they sold me the wrong package, which i had ... Read review

Top of the range wireless router
Review of NETGEAR WPN824 RangeMax Wireless Router - wireless router by tomliverpool

Advantages: Massive wireless range
Disadvantages: -

I live in a large victorian house with 7 other students. We decided to have wireless internet this year, and I must say, this router has done us proud. We bought ours from a local computer shop for £69.99. Our house is 3 floors, and even on the top floor the signal strength and quality is above 75%. I would say that the signal would still be pretty strong if we had a 4th floor. We have had no problems with it at all. It comes with a CD ... Read review

Review of NETGEAR WPN824 RangeMax Wireless Router - wireless router by musicdave

Advantages: Works Great - Looks Great
Disadvantages: Takes a while to set up

...must say. I bought this Netgear router off e bay as a re conditioned one costing about £45.00 new. This router has 10x the range of the Belkin router and gives full signal through the whole of the house. It has never once switched off or even flickered! The blue LED lights are a great little feature, just because i like blue LED lights on electronic devices. They look very quirky. It says it is easy to install..... i beg to differ. It is ...
