 Does what it says on the tin....and more! July 28, 2006

This router does exactly what it says on the tin but to get the best out of it you do need to buy the network cards to go with it as the whole system is almost proprietary . It does work well with legacy equipment but performance is limited though set up was a breeze in all cases, I have never finished an installation with so little effort or head scratching. The pci card is so much better in pure performance terms than the pcmcia card and the proof of the pudding can be summarised in three areas, extended range, very fast throughput and is a doddle to set up. Its not cheap but once you have recovered from the hole in your pocket reliable fast wireless is a joy to use. It looks good too!

I bought this as a plug-in replacement for my excellent Netgear DG824M so installation took literally a few minutes, just a matter of switching on, plugging in the phone line, connecting to the router and entering the broadband username (no password needed with BT). I got 54Mb connections and configurgured the security and it was great. Until I powered it off and restrarted it. Then network speed dropped to 1Mb or less, the range was terrible and I was cursing the unreliable heap of junk. I thought the power cycle had blown something inside.
It hadn't; here was the problem. There are two other networks in range on channel 6 the interference seriously screwed this up. I changed the channel from 6 to 4, and it was back to to 54Mb and full strength.
This is more powerful than the DG824M but not dramatically so. My home PCs around the house used to connect at 24-36 MB and now they connect at 54Mb (with the original cards). Beware though, this router won't connect at 108 Mb, the maximum on 802.11g is 54 Mbs. That's a technical 'feature'.
I installed the WN511B Rangemax card and it did indeed connect at 270 Mb and runs at high speed in the garage behind a few walls, which the old combination didn't. Overall I reckon this combination has increased my usable range by about 50%.
Great wireless solution from Netgear September 11, 2006

This is a superb piece of kit from Netgear. I had decided to upgrade my current average wireless router and was looking for more speed and range, this is what I got from the DG834N, the looks are pretty empressive too. I would recommend using with a WN511B PC card, which I got free!!!!

Have used Netgear equipment before with no problems. This item was no exception. Looks good, runs cool and gives great wifi coverage. Now have two iMacs and a DS Lite sharing the broadband connection flawlessly.
Perfect and at a great price! February 15, 2007

Buying this was the best thing I have done in a while, running it on mac os x, I had it working by the time I could put my username and password into the boxes for my ISP. This is the perfect upgrade from my last modem/router (DG834) and I can now have the Nintendo Wii online 24hrs a day and can start using the wifi for my laptop around the house. It looks great and I would highly recommend it to anyone that wants to go wireless.
