NetGear WGT624 Router

Pros: Easy set up with CD.

Cons: NONE

The Bottom Line: I like it, I love it, and want some more of it.

Review: I had trouble selecting a wireless router. I was at all sorts of sites looking for help and recoms. My son is a tech and he suggested a few but it all comes down to finally pointing your finger and saying "That one please". I bought from Frys.com...

Pros: Looks nice.

Cons: Doesn't work with updated firmware, support grossly incompetent, mostly unresponsive.Many hours and dollars wasted.

Review: It seems like a great deal, but the Netgear WGT624 is a dud. After installing it, it worked briefly, but the first thing the web-based control page suggested is a firmware update. Big mistake. After the update, the router kicked off any connected PC...

Pros: Looks nice, reasonable range

Cons: Terrible component design, tech support abysmal on a good day

Review: This router worked relatively well for about 6 months then started dropping connections on a regular basis despite firmware upgrades and re-booting. I understand from the Netgear Forum on wireless routers that this is likely an over-heating problem...

Pros: Very nice, very fast, and very easy to use.

Cons: $20 rebate takes 8+ weeks to come back. :(

The Bottom Line: Get this unit, its the best in its class..

Review: After reading a Review, written by "sf68642"
I almost did not buy this unit.

The problems he reported were not true for me.

It took me less than 15min to remove my old 3COM/Cisco setup,
and install NetGear in its place...

Pros: Looks nice. Small size.

Cons: Every thing but the looks. Poor help service. Nobody speaks normal english.

Review: I just brought this router from Circuit City and coming home I was thinking all right I got my router.

Well me being happy turned out to me being sad.
I installed the router like I was because to but when I got to where you have to do...

Pros: Cheap Easy-to-use

Cons: Hardly works Horrible Router

Review: The Netgear wgt624 and ANY OTHER netgear wireless router should be avoided by all users! I was hoping the previous failures of Netgear had been corrected by now. But apparently not.

What happens is when you first buy the product,...

Pros: When it worked, I could get on the internet from my laptop.

Cons: Lengthy set-up Touchy set-up Connection unreliable

The Bottom Line: If your requirements for wireless router is ease of use and above all reliability, continue your search and avoid the endless hassle and frustration afforded by the Netgear WGT624.

Review: Fifty percent of the time, my wireless router functions at most as a fancy paperweight, and at least a waste of electricity.

I bought this product as an intended upgrade from my low-priced Belkin wireless router, which was very reliable...

Pros: Easy to install

Cons: Quit working after 3 weeks. Terrible support.

Review: I was able to set it up quickly, and it worked fine for about 3 weeks. However, I use PCAnywhere to communicate with work, and I could never punch a hole in the firewall for the ports that it needs to communicate. (I am an IT professional, and know...

Pros: It's affordably priced, easy to find on sale at the moment, and it looks cool.

Cons: The router is not very stable, and you'll need a techie to configure it correctly.

The Bottom Line: Avoid this router, and spend your money on a better and more stable model.

Review: I bought this router for under $20 (shipped) from Woot a few weeks ago, and started having problems with it right away. The automatic setup wizard incorrectly detected my internet connection as a fixed IP address configuration, and I needed to put...

Pros: None.

Cons: Terrible product. I can't believe they released it.

Review: It simply doesn't work. Specifically

- The wireless access point requires a reset once per day.
- It fails at least 5 to 10 times during the business day. You will be working away and the pop-up from the Netgear software on your PC...
