    I setup this router by myself. Everything seemed to be ok but lost connection. I rebooted the router and then called support from Netgear. Had to reset the router. Almost took it back. I called Netgear again to see if the settings needed to be tweaked. They had me change the wireless settings. My problem is they should have this information in the setup section of the manual. So I still in evaluation mode.
