Netgear RangeMax Wireless Router - 802.11b/g with Smart MIMO

Comment:
I was very hesitant about installing the router myself. But it was so easy, it made me feel like an expert. It has been working great and allows me to use computer no matter where I am in the house.

I've had one of these routers for more then 2 years... maybe 3. And it has been the BEST router I have seen out there. And unbeatable price. Now mine's been through a lot of moving and been tossed around in the house, 2 of the ports are not working, but the wireless works fine, and the 2 ports are busted because it was.. well... thrown around. Simple set up that will do everything for you. If you are concerned about your xbox connection or something. It will go through flawlessly, unlike my other routers. I get perfect connection, constantly. I have my computers and my mother and brothers' mac's on my connection and even with 5-6 computers and laptops, this out-preforms all other routers I've seen. When my 2 ports broke, I looked for another one to replace it... couldn't find it. Looked everywhere, all of them were so expensive. Hell most were about $50! But I ended up getting a linksys (dislike the brand myself) and it sucks so bad... drops my connection, wireless is slow. Great buy!

Bought this router for my girlfriend. Fast and easy setup, she installed it by herself in 5 min. and doesn't know much about anything computer related. Range is awesome, full signal across the house. I've bought several refurb items here, and it's always been the same as buying brand new except at a way better price!

no one needs software for routers just plug it in and let it do what its supposed to.

The only thing that could have made this deal any better was having the drivers and other software on a CD in the box (you have to download the s/w from the 'net, but no biggie - the website is good). Set it up, plugged in, and Presto! our own wireless network at the house. So easy, even a . . . well, you know.

Easy to install for an In-Home network. No problems and a great price.

Thus far, product has worked well for the purpose of establishing a wireless network in my apartment. Price is pretty good relative to other comparable routers.

Worked very well in our application of an in-home network

This router was a great buy! It works great and looks cool as well. Sometimes it seems my network drops, but that only seems to happen when my cell phone goes off, which is kind of odd..

Got this the other day and it was easy to set up.Working with a d link cable modem. Thank you

Comment:
After downloading software updates the installation was easy and it is working perfect. No more LAN cables all over the floor!

Comment:
Easy to setup, Upgraded the old firmware took 10 min to setup and I ve never set one up before the price is great and its a great product. I was skeptical at first. but its a great buy!

Comment:
I was resetting my previous wireless at least once a day. This one--not once since I installed it about a month ago, and no more of the constant tinkering with settings. Range is better, too. And I love the flashing lights! (the site) don't list the version, but the one I got is version 3 and allows you to turn off the lights if you want.

Comment:
Wow, this product performs great, and it was very easy to set up. I purchased two of them because I wanted to extend my wireless capabilities far out into the outside areas of my home ... they work fantastic! I still cannot believe they are going at these prices ...

Comment:
Excellent deal, works like new & shipped very fast!

Comment:
Easy set-up, great interface with simple instructions. Range doesnt blow me away, but the router has been flawless otherwise and I cant complain for the price.

Comment:
cant really tell that its refurb, I am glad I got it. it has a few features that are not as good as my old dlink. but the range and single strength are a major improvement, id buy it again.

Comment:
Everything works so far, had to find driver software on the website to download, and then hooked up the cables and now connect 3 desktops and a wireless laptop. Good deal and product so far!

I purchased this product to start my first wireless network. This was a refurbished model so it didn't come with an instruction manual. All I had to do was go to Netgear website, find my model and download the instruction manual. It was easy to set up and I was up and running in no time.

I have purchased many of these routers and have never been disappointed. They are extremely easy to set up and they out perform even the more expensive models. I would recommend this router to anyone that wants a good distance for their wireless at a very reasonable price.

Was extremely easy to set up and use. Got the Wireless Router to work within 10 min. after setting up the security features to make sure the router is locked down so only people I want to, use it.

I bought this unit to replace a Dlink unit that died due to an incorrect power supply being connected to it. The netgear has alot of great features such as mac filtering on the wireless, generates log files that can be sent to email, and this decorative light on the side really makes the unit look cool. Very satisfied with it.

I was a little sceptical because it was a refurb., but I'm glad I bought this router. The price was unbeabtable. I bought my first netgear wireless router about 1 1/2 yrs ago for over twice the price. This router doubled my range and speed. Great Product at a Great Price!

works better then the d link on i had

The blue lights are indeed stunningly bright, but you can just click the switch and it's gone. I haven't tested the distance or range of the network, so can't say much about that. So after fiddling around I finally went to their website and entered the WPN824 into the search button which came up with alot of items, and then I entered the default password one and it gives you the default password to use so I was able to get into the router and see what it looks like, but I left everything as default because it finds what it needs, the price on the refurbished router is worth it.
