Terrible Range, speed drops exponentially with distance
by smedici on June 23, 2011
Pros: wireless and wired performance is great next to the router.
Cons: I replaced an old belkin because I wanted a dual band and "whole house good signal". The only place I can get a good signal is in the room with the router, 15 feet away I barely get a signal and it keeps dropping the connection. I worked with tech support
Summary: I will replace the N750 WNDR4000 once I find one that actually delivers on its specs.

wireless range is really bad
by sdanie2 on January 10, 2012
Pros: It was really simple to setup and get up and running
Cons: wireless N band connections continually drop in and out. You can watch the signal strenght start at 3 bars an drop to 0 without moving.
Summary: I just replaced a berlin wireless router I had for 3 years with the netgear 750 dual-band to support both N band and g band devices. I hadn't had ...

Summary: I just replaced a berlin wireless router I had for 3 years with the netgear 750 dual-band to support both N band and g band devices. I hadn't had any problems with the berlin router in past 3 years and single has always been good. I was quite disappointed in this Netgear router based on what it was claiming. I'll be returning it today and will wait for a dual-band berlin router to be available.

Major security issue USB support authentication
by dessertfish on September 13, 2011
Pros: Over all unit works fine for basic wireless functionality. I bought this unit because of its ability to setup a NAS or share a USB storage device at my home. The next selling point was the guest wireless access.
Cons: To access the usb hard drive you have to enter the password that is used to access the routers settings. This is a big security issues because if you give this password out to a guest or even teenagers they will now have access to your routers setting.
Summary: Net gear needs to create update to allow you to add a separate user for NAS or USB support.

Happy with it
by DaveJMo on July 13, 2011
Pros: Has been extremely reliable for me. Sufficient for size of my apartment. The ReadyShare has performed well for me too.
Cons: My PS3 can't pick up all my media on my drive attached to the USB over DLNA. Not a big deal since it seems silly to have a large plasma on in order to listen to music through a PS3.

Summary: This is a good router for doing just about anything really, it's fast, its mostly reliable, it has gigabit ethernet, and it's dual band so you can do some relatively extreme multitasking on it without problem. Again, as i have said a few times now it is isn't entirely dependable, i have had it for 2 weeks now and it has already dropped the wireless once, i'm not sayin' this is a show-stopper for most people and for the price you can't beat it. I'm only saying this so that you put it in a convenient place so you can occasionally go and restart it. All in all a wonderful router that i would recommend to anyone.

Unit works intermittently after only two months in use
by happyribbed on March 24, 2012
Pros: Very easy to set up
Cons: WNDR4000 started working intermittent on all connected devices only two months after purchase.
Initially it worked very well and I was very happy with the easy setup, but after only two months I have to restart the unit about once a minute.
Summary: The WIFI connection drops out, while the LAN connection works fine. No software upgraded on any WIFI connected devices, so I am sure it is the WNDR4000 unit with gives ...

Wicked fast performance, really good 2.4Ghz range!
by DouglasFargo on March 16, 2012
Pros: Extremely fast and versatile. Not sure why some complain about range, mine is fine.
Cons: Runs hot, especially if running all 4 nets (2.4 main and guest, and 5ghz main and guest)
Summary: Owned this for several months now with no major issues. Only main con is that it can run hot with both bands running with their guest networks on. If you ...

Summary: Owned this for several months now with no major issues. Only main con is that it can run hot with both bands running with their guest networks on. If you shut off the 5Ghz if you're not using it, it's fine...otherwise I've had a few times where it ran hot enough to force a router restart a few times. Didn't buy it for the 5ghz band though...all my devices are 2.4 and I wanted the extra "guest" networks that come built in, as well as GIGABIT wired! My desktop sits about 50+ feet away through 3 walls and and still gets between 4 and 5 bars with both windows 7 and window 8 (Windows 8 Consumer Preview version) at 150mbps (max of that wifi card)...my laptop sitting in the same spot gets 300mbps, though at 3-4 bars)...still wicked. I'm thinking the wireless signal losses might be in the 5ghz band since that band is notoriously bad for signal strength depending on what your house is made out of. Can't wait for my 450mbps wifi card to come for my desktop. I'll probably put some sort of small fan near it just to help keep the temps down.
Setup is a snap...comes with a cd, but if you've ever configured any brand router manually, it's extremely simple to configure reserved IPs, port forwarding, DMZ zone and parental controls if you want them.
Like I tell some of my customers (I'm a helpdesk supervisor in the AF) that ask about routers, I wouldn't recommend anything this fast unless you're doing a lot of internal network traffic. If all you're doing is internet browsing, online gaming and netflix...you don't need to spend the money on any router that goes faster than your ISP connection (typically 54mbps wireless G is fine for most people). I use this router for a lot of internal data movement (daily backups to HP home server, date/video streaming to other computers and to xbox/tv)...if you have that kind of traffic...GET THIS ROUTER!!! You won't be disappointed like with Linksys crap or Belkin junk. The only other router I've owned that was almost this good was a D-link, but it didn't offer the guest networks for keeping guests off your internal net, but still allowing internet access.
