Customer Ratings & Reviews

You can't beat this router for price and performance. I was forced to buy a router for a new installation at the home of a patience returning from the hospital. The family members were going to provide 24 hour care for her during her recovery and they needed connectivity quickly. The N300 was the answer. The customer had Comcast voice and TV and a built in modem in the network interface device. The router was a snap to setup and install using the web interface and from start to finish, the entire task required less than 10 minutes. Since the installation, the wireless router has worked flawlessly. Seven notebooks have connected with the router in the last four weeks and all did so without any issues. The security setup was incredibly easy and the broadcast area is exceptional.

We had high expectations since this item was recommended from a friend... frequent interference with each system on WiFi. . Internet freezes constantly

This item did not work after installing, & it also is old stock.. I sent a complaint about this item - but obviously no one read it - as I never heard anything from your Company !!! Very poor way to operate.!!!!

The router itself is mostly reliable. I gave a review of two stars because of the very poor customer service and difficulty of installing.

I bought this router with intent to put parental controls on kid's devices that use wireless in the house. 1) Coverage was poor - new TV on other end of house had poor connection, no coverage on 2nd floor, 2) More is needed for effective parental controls - can't block time frame by device. Although blocks on categories and sites were effective. Lastly, return policy for Best Buy is 15 days - assumed 30 days so I'll have to sell it on eBay.

At many random times the network is not available and I need to unplug and re-plug the router. This should not happen...what should I do???

Bought this in September and by November I had to purchase another brand. Their customer support told me that it had locked me out because it was trying to be accessed by outside sources. They wanted $120 to fix it. That's not what support is supposed to do. They're supposed to help you get it going again. There's nothing that you can do to unlock it once it's been locked. Look elsewhere please.

I bought the N-300 on sale for $25. Failed almost immediately. Replaced with N-600 which I also have at my other home. The N-600 has been flawless. It baffles me that Netgear can sell both junk and quality routers. The good news is I didn't completely waste the $25 on the N-300, as I took it to the shooting range and had fun shooting at it with my .22 before finishing it off with my .270.

I purchased this router because I needed a quick solution for a simple home network in a small studio apartment. I did not require any advanced features, simply needed one laptop to connect to a wireless network. The router was unable to connect even with troubleshooting through support. I tried several settings and have experience eith wireless networks and was very disappointed in this product. It never ended up working

I have purchased a couple of these now. They are consistent in keeping you Internet. Range is way lower then rated!

Was hoping that it would be better that the one we had before, but it actually was worse. All in all, you get what you pay for.

I have Charter, it did not work at all. Had to go with another brand.

Bought as a gift. Good for the small house for which it was intended. The person passed away and it is no longer used.

After spendin too much time and two calls to Customer service which is in India...not America...the unit still did not operate as it should It returned it and exchanged it for a Linksys-Cisco Router... in 15 minutes to 30 minutes I had it operational, with ease of Port Forwardintg and Remote Access complete....I will never purchase an item with the NetGear name on it again....hurray for Linksys

Works perfectly and very easy to set up for a 1st time wireless user.

These routers have a "lifetime warranty" from Netgear. They are so difficult to deal with and you have to return your product to them at your own cost. I had two fail. The first failed after a year the second after only six months. I bought the second one, as I couldn't wait for a new one to be mailed. This is my last one from Netgear. Save your money.

This router isn't anything special. Constantly had to be reset but worked well for our apartment

I just wanted a router for my playstation but it couldn't even worked. Set up did not go as stated.

This was my first experience with a router, after educating myself on some of the specifics of these units and reading some of the reviews, I decided to go with this brand/model. I'm so glad I did! Besides being compact in size and covenient to physically locate with its vertical design, it is a quality unit which out of the box worked flawlessly! I found myself surfing the web from practically anywhere in my house-- even outside on my deck! The unit was very easy to install as the included illustrated instructions take you step by step through the setup process. In summary, I'm very happy with the NETGEAR Wireless -N 300 router.

I am not one to EVER write a review, but seeing as how I read most of the reviews on this model before my purchase...my 2 cents might help someone else out. This router was purchased to replace my D-Link which died on me...and what an improvement it was! Super easy and quick installation (not sure what happened with others who purchased this unit). The network was setup and I was able to connect 2 laptops (one of which has Windows 7) in under 5 minutes. I've only been up and running for about a week, but so far there have been no issues at all. Before writing this review I connected my Blu-Ray player to the network so I can stream Netflix, I think the signal strength is much better. Also the WPS feature on it is GREAT!!! Saves you a lot of time from typing in uber long network passwords on your xbox 360 controller or Blu-Ray remote. The only thing negative I have to say is that I wish this was my first router. Hope this helps someone as it is my first ever review.
