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.
I considered them top-of-the-line years ago. Then three bad in a row, one after the other. Bought Linksys since then and never a problem.
