Could not get the router working
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I returned this item because I purchased it with a router and could not get the remote access application to work. NetGear support is terrible and it is only good for 90 days beyond that you have to pay. Stick with Linksys.
