Pros: Features, speed and price
Cons: Tech Support
I like this router very much. I find that it suits my family's needs very well. It was not so hard to set up and had some nice features. The Dual band 5G and 2.4g is nice. The guest network in nice too. I have lots of gear hooked up to this and it doesn't seem to slow down at all - 3 laptops, 2 desktops (wired), iphone, 2 ipods, xbox, wii, printer and an external hard drive for network storage!<br />The only problem I had was that I wanted to hook my printer up through the ethernet jacks and this router will not do that. I didn't realize this was the case and I called customer support to get it rectified. The guys in India didn't realize this and tried to sell me extra tech support to set it up. Well and hour and a half later, I was told by the third guy that it can't be done. Netgear tech support is AWEFUL!<br />As it turns out, it was no big deal to go wireless for the printer. It actually works great. You can set up the printer via the very handy USB jack too. The unit is great, tech support bad. All that said, I would recommend it, as long as you can handle some medium tech on your own. Two months in, no trouble.
