Posted by: WebTek from Mesa, AZ on 05/21/2013The router works flawlessly and is a great choice for heavy game users or home use however if you plan on utilizing it for business or to access your files from remote locations you would be better to get a router with VPN capabilities and the ability to install DD-WRT technology.

Posted by: ElBori from Miami, Fl on 05/20/2013I bought this router as a replacement for my recently deceased WNDR3700 which is an outstanding router. I read the reviews and I was very apprehensive as I had read a number of the bad reviews but I trust the Netgear brand so I went for it. Well let me say it is amazing. I had read a number of reviews that stated they had trouble connecting but I had no issues as a matter of fact I was up and connected after literally 30 seconds after powering the router up.
The speed is outstanding. As good as my speeds were with the WNDR3700 the speeds are even better with this router. With the WNDR3700 I got full speed at 5GHZ and a but less than half that at 2.4GHZ but with the WNDR4500 I get full speed at both frequencies. I also get only 1 bar less range difference between the 2 frequencies.
This is an outstanding router.

Posted by: spindr from on 05/18/2013Needed to replace a failing router and was told that this Netgear N900 would be noticeably faster and would have much greater range than my older Linksys router. While the range is somewhat larger I still have very low signal strength just outside my house. The speed is about par with what I had before. On the plus side, however, it was very easy to install and has not cut out on me since installation.
