Advantages: Connection speed is really good and range is quite wonderful Disadvantages: Sometimes gets disconnected
I have used Netgear router and based on my experience i can say that performance wise its really good. There are some problems like connection gets disconnected sometimes but that happens because of other frequencies as well, so if you configure your router in a good way, it really gives you a great output.
It's key features are:
5 in 1: Modem, router, firewall, 4-port switch & wireless access point ,Compatible with 802.11b wireless networks and True Firewall & WPA-PSK encryption protects against intruders.

This router comes with detail instructions (step-by-step) for installation however it does not cater for the presence of a firewall ...
