One of the best purchases I have ever made.......2007-02-06

I bought this a long long time ago after having problems with Linksys products. It has worked flawlesly for several years now.

It has traveled across Europe with me. I could go on and on, but the point is that it just works. Every time. Business Travel. New home. New computer. New service provider.

This may be one of the best purchases I have ever made.

Outdated.......2007-01-19

My problem with this otherwise good deal was its propensity to lay down when I started opening a lot of connections (e.g. p2p).
It also had a problem with yahoo!mail account. Don't ask me how this is possible. The router should be transparent at that level but I can tell you : with the Netgear there was a problem with connection getting reset to certain yahoo servers and the problem went away with a Linksys and direct connections.

Great price, won't last long.......2007-01-12

It was great for about 1 year, after this time it starts lock-ups. I need to reset it every day, looks like heat related problem

Acceptable for the price paid.......2006-08-07

I got this router around 2 years ago (v2 version) and it worked pretty well most of the time. There were occasions when it would just stop working, and it took multiple reboots of the router and cable modem to get things going right again; fortunately this was pretty infrequent. When I moved and changed to another service provider, this router just would not work right. Nothing I tried would fix the slow and almost nonexistant connection it gave me; I ended up replacing it.

Can't deal with the timeout issue.......2006-08-05

With my ssh connections into my home system and chess club connections, I'm timed out after some period of time around 5 minutes. I did not have this issue when my pc was connected directly to the highspeed cable bridge. I liked netgear products in the past but this issue is a little more than annoying.
