NETGEAR RangeMax WAP WPN802

Advantages: Can be used with current netowoworks in place, Wide range
Disadvantages: Hard to set up, Firmware thats not included is needed

...cost solutions out there that do pretty much everything ( if not more ) that this product does. System Requirements - Broadband (cable/DSL) router with Internet service and Ethernet port - 2.4 GHz 802.11 b/g wireless adapter. Alternatively, an Ethernet adapter and cable for each computer - Windows® 98, Me, NT, 2000, XP, Mac® OS, NetWare®, UNIX®, or Linux® - Internet Explorer 5.0 or Netscape® 4.7 or higher Package Contents - NETGEAR RangeMax Wireless Access Point WPN802 - 12V, 1.0 A power adapter, localized to country of sale - Ethernet cable - Vertical stand - Setup Guide - Resource CD - Warranty/Support information card In Conclusion I would not recomend this product to anyone with little router knowledge or for someone who is setting up thier own home network as there are many better Quality and loww cost solutions...

Review of NETGEAR RangeMax Wireless Access Point WPN802

Netgear WPN824 Rangemax Wireless Router

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

...I bought this router after months of frustration with a Belkin router. Constantly switching on and off and never staying on long enough to load a web page. The worst router i have ever used i 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 a little complicated to instal as it asks for lots of different numbers such as your IP and many other that i cant remember but with a little research on the internet and google i manages to find out how...

Review of NETGEAR WPN824 RangeMax Wireless Router - wireless router

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...

NetGear DG834N Wireless Router

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

...supplier was easy and within a few minutes I was connected to the internet. My broadband supplier is BE Unlimited and they do not require a username or password. Obviously for those suppliers that do, you would need to enter that in the web interface. Once the basics were set up I was able to remove my Ethernet cable and place the router behind a hallway cupboard. Netgear supply the router with a small stand and insist that it is always kept upright. This is I presume to allow adequate ventilation. The router allows you to set up port forwarding and comes with a few predefined services. The ones I required were not shown in that list so I had to set mine up myself which is pretty straightforward if you know what ports the various services that you set up require. Security comes in the form of a built in firewall and WPA/WPA2 encryption...

Review of NETGEAR RangeMax Next Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DG834N - wireless router

Netgear DG834PN Wireless ADSL Modem Router

Advantages: Facilities, easy set up, lights(!), stability
Disadvantages: Some backwards compatibility issues, lack of web executable filtering

...The Netgear DG834PN is the latest version of the DG834 and combines an ADSL modem with a wireless router and 4 port switch. In plain English, this plugs in your phone socket and allows one or more PCs to share the connection via either a wired or wireless link. The modem part is ADSL2+ ready and should work with even the fastest ISP offerings out there which as at Dec 2006 are around 12mbps in the UK. The setup wizard worked flawlessly and apart from the username and password, worked everything else out for itself and had the DG834PN up and running in a couple of minutes. As with most similar devices, further configuration is done via a web interface. The wireless section supports 802.11b and 802.11g as well as Netgear's own 802.11 Super G variant offering 108Mbps. The unit features 6 internal Antennas which constantly reconfigure...

Review of NETGEAR DG834PN RangeMax ADSL Modem Wireless Router - wireless router

Netgear DG834N = Nice!

Advantages: HD Streaming, functionality and reliability.
Disadvantages: Draft N so not final N product

...Having used Netgear for many a year, the DG834N wireless ADSL router does its job perfectly. I bought this item to replace the aging DG834G V2 which had decided to stop connecting to the internet! This product is fairly large and roughly the size of a hardback book (slightly taller than a DVD case) After a month of having this I have had no problems and the connection is very stable including Streaming HD content from a wireless connection on a mac to a wired Xbox 360 via connect 360. works wonderfully. We have 4 pc's (2 wireless) and a mac (wireless) which work wonderfully when all connected. The reason for its size is the multiple aerials (transmitters) needed for MIMO (Multiple-input multiple-output operations) are hidden inside and the router has two groups of three fitted. It incorporates the standard quad of Fast Ethernet...

Review of NETGEAR RangeMax Next Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DG834N - wireless router

Netgear

Advantages: No problems with connection
Disadvantages: None

...I used modems supplied my my internet service provider and experienced problems with connectivity and drop out. In the end I got so sick of phoning the ISPs to report problems to be given the same twaddle (updating drivers etc.) that I went into my local branch of PC World and asked for their recommendation. The Netgear DG834G was the salesman's recommendation. It cost £50 and has been one of the better purchases I have made. My desk top PC and now my son's laptop use the same router and the wireless signal has never failed. We do not suffer from connectivity issues and trust the routers security to protect us from freeloaders and hackers. I would personally recommend this router type over those supplied by service providers....

Review of NETGEAR DG834G 54 Mbps Wireless ADSL Firewall Router - wireless router

Superfast Netgear 270Mb wireless ADSL2 router

Advantages: Superfast 270mbs network, looks sexy, stands up, secure
Disadvantages: Needs compatible WN311B RangeMax Next card for 270mbs

...When I first heard of this product, I really wasn't convinced. First of all Netgear's claim that it can operate at 270mb which is more than 2 times that of a standard home/office 10/100mb network and a good deal more than my old 54g (30mb+/-) router's speed, had to be tested. Secondly this was in draft N standard, meaning that it is not yet been made official or standard, so how would it perform in my own home? I just had to try it....... First thing you will need if your after the speed this router provides, is to get yourself a compatible Netgear WN311B PCI card or one of the netgear RangeMax usb sticks, as there is no way you would hope to get the full speed on another manufacturers card, you may, but why take the risk of purchasing? So with this router and a compatible card your all set. I am assuming you already have...

Adventures In Networking

Advantages: It just makes your life that much easier
Disadvantages: Its a bitch when it comes to Virgin and Vista

...burning more electricity most likely 24/7 (Twenty four hours a day, seven days a week); so if your energy conscious this is something you need to take focus on. Thankfully at home I was equipped with the latest Argos catalogue, this meant I was able to familiarise myself with products before leaving. Some of you might be thinking why not check out the internet? To be honest not only do I often prefer to use older methods, you quite often find that online suppliers of technology related products already think you know everything. Having looked through the Catalogue I decided the best choice for me was the Netgear Rangemax Next Wireless Router, I made this choice on the basis of style and technical spec, which seemed to be higher than most. The biggest issue of all was that it offered 300 meters range coverage from the base unit; but hang...

Review of NETGEAR RangeMax Next Wireless Router WNR834B - 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...
