Set this up yesterday, and very happy with it.

Good price.. been working for a few years now..........2007-03-13

good product as you'd expect from netgear. has been in use for about 3 yrs now so i'd say it's been reliable. Would recommend and use again myself.

So far, not so good.......2007-01-18

I am having trouble getting both computers to work without having to unplug my modem each time. There were no instructions and no disc. I emailed the company but they have yet to respond.

I tried using a D-Link router with my Direcway/Hughes satellite Internet connection with absolutely no success. With that connection the only thing that will work is a hub or switch. A switch is more advanced because it is able to feed all the outputs with fast connections instead of having to share the input as a hub does.
The Netgear FS605 (which currently has a $10 rebate) is very simple to set up since all it really does take an input and feed it to everything else. No IP addresses of Ethernet names are required. The enclosed paper Installation Guide estimates the setup time to be 5-10 minutes and that's about right. No problems whatsoever.
I would recommend this to anyone having satellite Internet.

The item was delivered in a timely manner. The setup and connection was a no-brainer. I've been using it in my system for over a month and it has performed as specified.
