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...

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...

The Netgear Network

Advantages: Good wireless and wired speeds.
Disadvantages: Pointless blue light and quite a strong price-tag.

...greatly reduces any chances of intrusion from nearby hackers attempting to gain illegal access. Were there any negative sides to the product? - I don't know whether people would consider this a negative point or not, but I paid £90.00 for my Netgear router and this to me seems like an extreme amount for something so small and widely available. - The blue neon light which shows on the top of the router is constently on (though it can be set at reduced brightness or disabled) and all this does it use more power. However it does make the product look incredibly snazzy. All in all I believe that the positives out-weighing the negatives is all you need as evidence that this is a 10/10 product. If you want a system that combines wireless capabilities with a solid wired interface (of multiple ethernet ports) then the Netgear RangeMax range is...
