Posted by: Moxman626 from San Diego, Ca. on 01/28/2013I was looking for an access point to extend the range of the wireless router I already have, and this one was the best choice. After reading some online instructions about how to set up a wireless "repeater," I decided to buy this unit. I followed the instructions that I had compiled from online sources, and from what came with the Netgear, and got the access point up-and-running in a short amount of time. The speed of this access point is amazing! Now, I have screaming fast internet access throughout my entire house; including the garage. Why the garage? Because I work in the garage alot, and use my smart phone from there. I'm totally satisfied with this access point. By the way, I connected this access point to my main router with Netgear's "Powerline" home adapters. They work great, too!

poor range
1
Posted by: happytrigger from appleton, wi on 11/08/2012i own a laptop and still use the standard ethernet cord to connect to the internet but want to go wireless. so this is my first wireless modem and i have to say im very dissapointed. i got the cd-less installation which took forever to figure out when your not a computer geek. like you would read other low rated reviews, it loses connection to your laptop and this "netgear genie" supposedly reconnects the internet to your computer which never happens. then you would have to go reboot the router which takes about 2-3 minutes. I would walk to the next room and it would lose its connection. basically it makes a 2 minute task turn to a 7 minute task if your lucky to hold a connection then. but i have to say when this thing does work properly, you get same connection as you would with the wired connection staying in the same room that is.

Frustrating!

Posted by: meesh13 from Boston, MA on 08/21/2012Several times a day I lose my wireless connection. I then have to unplug the router, wait for it to connect and restore the wireless network. I work from home so this doesnt really lend to productivity. Not to mention the fact that I want to throw it out the window because it happens so often. This is going back to the store!

easy install, high speed

Posted by: TheComputerDoc from Minnesota border with Canada on 06/18/2012This WLAN router is easy to install, fast and dependable. The only real issue I've seen is I cannot set up a secure link to my printers. I'm not convinced the issue is the router, but problem may be the printers. They see the secure network, but won't let me enter the access code.
I highly recommend this router.
And the FCC uses these in their ongoing monitoring program.

A little tricky to set up, but works great

Posted by: enut from Texas on 09/08/2011You'll need to know some technical details about your network to get this setup and running, but once it's going it really works well.

Posted by: GarrettMA from Boston, MA on 09/07/2011performance has been solid stince installed. Only thing preventing 5 stars is complication in configuration. Only a particular IP Address can be used to access the WAP (meaning that your computer has to have a specific IP address when it tries to address the WAP to configure it). This seems like a needlessly complicated step and while fairly simply to accomplish once I figured it out, no instruction was provided in the packaging for how to do this (further it appears that there are two addresses and the one in the configuration materials was not accurate but the other could be found on line).

Great Access Point
5
Posted by: LMoss from Mississippi on 02/15/2011I just purchased this ACCESS POINT yesterday. I had it up and going in about 10 minutes. It is very easy to use and install. It does help to have a little bit of network knowledge when working with an access point. But I did find it was much easier to use this one than some I have worked with in the past.
It has great range of coverage even through walls. It works great with both PCs (Windows) and Macs, including ipads. As it has only been in operation for a day, it is working great. I will be getting a few more to finish a project.
Remember this is an ACCESS POINT not a ROUTER.

Slow start, but smooth after the upgrade

Posted by: GadgetBuyer from on 12/21/2010I unboxed the Netgear access point and it was simple to physically assemble the product. After I turned on the device, it was easy to go through the wizard screens to setup the device. I connected my laptop to the access point and I was getting a lot of dropped connections. After going to the Netgear's website and getting the new firmware download, the access point was great.
