Netgear blows chunks. Their hardware is crap and their support is even worse.
Took me three routers to figure that out. Support using troubleshooting scripts IN EMAIL was the last straw.
Just bought and installed Netgear 3500 wireless router from Amazon for under $20...used several chits from doing online surveys and a gift card or 2 and with no shipping or tax charges. Arrived @ doorstep via USPO within 5 days, installed /connected to cable modem/pc’s and Kiddle in less than 1 hour. Works great with all including Win 7 home group.
Well,hey,I feel the same about Linksys.And I paid a 100 bucks for that POS.The Netgear router I have now isn’t giving me a bit of trouble.
