Known Issue with Firmware - Product is Defective
by TakenAdvantageOf on January 28, 2009
Pros: If you are only using one device at a time linked to this Wireless Router you can pull 270mbs through several walls.
Cons: Net Gear is aware of a known Firmware failure in this product. When you connect more than one device to the router it will intermittently drop your signal and disconnect every device on the router. Very rude customer service in India.
Summary: Net Gear is knowingly selling you a defective product. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. Save yourself a lot of time and money if you are going to attempt to connect ...
Summary: Net Gear is knowingly selling you a defective product. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. Save yourself a lot of time and money if you are going to attempt to connect more than one device to this router as it will drop your signal every 5 - 30 minutes with no known firmware upgrade to resolve the issue. The tech support will not admit to this and will make you re-install the network several times. Ask for the United States customer service department in CA if you hope to get any resolution to the problems you will experience with this defective equipment. First time buyer of Net Gear - and my Last Time as a buyer of Net Gear products. Who on this Earth sells product that they know is defective with no known way of resolving the issue? They cost me a Saturday and a work day and a couple of evenings of trouble shooting a problem that they are already aware of.

Nice and simple to hook up
by Tim De Lord on March 2, 2008
Pros: East Setup, and Tech support was nice, and understanding, when having any questions.
Cons: Tech support is ONLY 90 Days, afterwards, one must pay. LAME!!!
Summary: This is the first time I am not using a Linksys router, so, still trying it out. I purchased the WNDR330 Wireless / Router. It seems to work good. But time ...
Summary: This is the first time I am not using a Linksys router, so, still trying it out. I purchased the WNDR330 Wireless / Router. It seems to work good. But time will be the true test! Again, other then the short tech support, so far so good.

by odojoe on September 6, 2010
Pros: Pretty Blue Light
Cons: Consistently loses connectivity to the Internet.

cnet evaluation was flwed
by guanabara22 on January 21, 2010
Pros: operates on b/g/n at 2.4 GHz band or B/G at 2.4 and n at 5 GHz
Setting the unit to operate at 2.4 Ghz only makes it work and support all 802.11 b/g/n sgtandards at the same band.
Clean and simple straight forward configuration layout.Cons: nothing. I don't need USB. I don't need gigabit speeds. 100MBPS is already a superfast speed for direct ethernet connection. If you use wireless connection and 802.11n your speed is 250MBPS. So for the price I consider no cons exist
Summary: Save lots of bucks and get it fast .
I got a recertified model at tigerdirect.com for $39. Savings will be some dinners.Summary: Save lots of bucks and get it fast .

Same problems as everyone else!
by sdud22 on September 11, 2009
Pros: It's in the trash!
Cons: Drops constantly. Draft N doesn't work very well and then disconnects and has to be manually reconnected every time the computer goes into hibernation.
Summary: Horrible. Buy something else. Exercise our power as consumers.

Got to be the worst router on the market
by captndp on August 10, 2009
Pros: After one month, there is absolutely nothing I like about this router
Cons: Regular disconnection of clients is annoying, as is the stupid flashing dome lights. The firmware needs updating to fix the disconnect problem.
Summary: Bottom Line.... Save yourself some money and go buy a different router. Tech Support will always start at the level one. Check the forums, the disconnect problem is apparently widespread ...

Easy Setup, Great Connection and Range
by songvilay1 on September 10, 2008
Pros: Adjustable 2.4Ghz bandwidth, 8 antennas
Cons: It's a bit on the big side

Summary: I bought this dual band router to replace my old d-link wireless g router that kept dropping my internet connection. I would have to keep rebooting the router about once or twice every hour and waiting for the internet connection to come back up. I am running wireless to my PS3, 2 Rocketfish rear wireless speakers (one per rear surround each works on 2.4Ghz), PSP wireless and laptop wireless. I don't need wireless N yet, but my 2.4Ghz spectrum is pretty full. I hooked up the Netgear RangeMax Dual Band and after the easy setup, adjusted my 2.4Ghz channel to 2.46Ghz and I have not had a dropped wireless internet session yet. I tried it out on my PS3 with online games and my Playstation Home beta test and it was great. No more frustration from dropped connections in the middle of a game. The range for the wireless G is excellent. My PS3 is in my living room, about 60 ft. from the router, around corners and doors and I still get about 92 to 95% signal strength. I have read people complain about the blue light being bright and somewhat annoying, you can turn that off by simply tapping it once and it goes away. I think it's kinda cool though. Anyways, this is in my opinion, a very nice, inexpensive replacement for older wireless G routers stuck in a sea of 2.4Ghz products.

A ROUTER THAT DOES NOT DO THAT WHAT IT IS DESIGNED FOR
by NetgearSucksBalls on March 23, 2013
Pros: - CONNECTIVITY WITH 1 DEVICE IS OK
- IT HOLDS AN AVERAGE SANDWICH PRETTY WELL
- DROPPING WATER ON IT DOESNT BREAK ITCons: - ONCE YOU PLUG IN MORE THAN ONE DEVICE THE INTERNET WILL CRASH. THIS WILL THEN HAPPEN EVERY 2-5 MINUTES. CONNECTION WILL SOMETIMES BE OK WHEN 2 DEVICES ARE PLUGGED IN, BUT IS NONEXISTANT AS SOON AS THE 3RD DEVICE GETS CONNECTED.
Summary: PAYING TO GET A CORKSCREW JAMMED IN YOUR ANUS WHILE LISTENING TO JUSTIN BIEBER IS MONEY BETTER SPENT THAN ON THIS PIECE OF CRAP ROUTER
