it's ok - just not what i expected. but, stupid blinking light is annoying as he** and the strength is not great for me (apartment building - 55 units). i thought this was supposed to be better than it is. no major problems. It is slower than my land connection was when 2 people are using.
Google this router and FTP problems and you will find many unhappy, former owners. It gets returned today. OUT-GOING FTP DOES NOT WORK. I checked the router setup and no services were blocked, fellow webmaster with different routers could ftp to those same web servers. Well the Xbox wireless adapter will not work with the wireless N routers and only certain G routers, this Netgear RangeMax being one. I had a perfectly good Linksys wired router but my family wanted wireless, particularly my son, the Xbox Live player. Bought and installed and Xbox Live was working great BUT as a webmaster, I could no longer upload files to working web servers - Winsock error #10061. Tech support is unresponsive.
So we tried it 3 more times and still said it. So, we called back and good a guy who could hardly speak english. It said on both that it couldn't connect. I thought that we were good to go. Then I got my Nintendo DS and tried it on there and said that the security features didn't support the security.
I clicked on it, put in the WEP code and it said testing connection. We told him about it so he had us change our WEP code and do more stuff. Clark, I'm not a Wii expert" and I said this doesn't have to do with the Wii. We told him that and he said "Mr. So we got mad and hung up. I said search for access points and found ours. Got home, opened it, and followed the instructions and was fine untill it said that we didn't the wires wern't connected right.
So we called Netgear and they helped us get passed that. Then an error code showed up on the screen, we tried several more times and still said the error code. I do not recomend this piece of junk. We tried it on a laptop but said the firewall kept me from using the Wi-Fi. We bought this router today because we needed one for our stuff. I turned on our Wii and tried to get the Wi-Fi on it so we could get some good channels. We tried it again on the Wii and DS.
Paid a lot more, but worth every penny.none of the issues above reappeared with the new router. I reviewed the D-link as well on its product page.Summary: skip over this.go D-Link if you have a gamer. Did speed testing, and all my speeds were a fraction of what my speed was when I connected straight to the cable modem. Ended up hooking the PS3 up via ethernet and then it would frag out whenever someone was on the internet while someone else was playing the PS3. First.did not work.only had like 10% signal strenght. I bought this so that my kids PS3 could connect wirelessly and they could play online. Heck, I had a stronger signal (30%) from my NEIGHBOR'S wireless network. So, I went out and bought a D-Link Xtreme Gaming Router, and man, could you tell the difference.
I have three of these at various locations, they replaced D-Link and Linksys products. These units are easy to set up and maintain, have excellent range and signal strength, and are the best on the market as far as I'm concerned.
