Netgear’s are the worst routers on earth, never, ever buy one.
All these cheapish consumer routers fail sooner or later, for me it was a netgear that didn’t die so much as drop th connection inexplicably and randomly for a while after a year or so of reliability. The free O2 branded Thompson unit I have at the moment is doing well if slow.
OP, What are your needs from a wireless router? Do you need high speed wireless -dual band wireless n – or high speed wired – gigabit Ethernet? Do you need adsl? is it important to you to be able to add a networked drive or share a printer? Me? I just wish apple would make an adsl airport. That would be perfect!
If you want a bargain, look to buffalo.
