With its dual band nature, you can create two separate but simultaneous wireless networks. View larger. | And when used with computers and devices with Wireless-N capability, the RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router will let you surf, email, stream HD video, play on-line games, and even make Internet phone calls simultaneously, avoiding annoying interference from neighboring Wi-Fi networks and other wireless devices like Bluetooth or cordless phones. Dual Band Wireless-N: Less Interference, Increased Range and Superior Performance
Featuring the latest dual band Wireless-N technology, the RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router delivers exceptional range and speed for new Wireless-N devices while still offering backwards compatibility to older Wireless-G devices. NETGEAR's unique multiple internal antenna technology packs eight metamaterial antennas into this wireless router. This enables wireless signals to travel farther for a stronger, more reliable wireless connection. This new technology also minimizes "dead spots" that can frustrate wireless network users. While performance will vary according to your particular conditions, when used with other Wireless-N computers and devices, the RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router can deliver up to 10 times the range of older Wireless-G routers and offer a throughput speed of up to 15 times faster. (For optimal performance, the RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router should be used with NETGEAR's RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Adapter or laptops with integrated Wireless-N) 
Push 'N' Connect makes set up a cinch. | Easy Set-Up with Push 'N' Connect
Setting up and connecting to the RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router couldn't be easier. The router comes with a Smart Wizard installation CD that vastly simplifies the initial set-up process by automatically detecting and configuring your router for virtually all ISP connections. And once your network is set up, the router's "Push 'N' Connect" feature takes over. To connect a new device on your network, you simply push a button on the router, and your device is automatically and securely configured and connected to your wireless network. This means that the days of having to remember complicated security keys and passwords are over. The router also features an integrated switch that lets you attach up to four devices directly to the router. Another notable advantage of dual band Wireless-N is that it works with up to 23 channels that operate on the 5GHz band. Wireless-G networks, on the other hand, operate on the 2.4-GHz band with only 3 channels, which is also home to some cordless phones, microwaves, and other devices that can cause interference. 5GHz Wireless-N avoids the interference that can interrupt Wireless-G networks, giving you greater reliability and performance. And the RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router "dual" nature means the router creates both Wireless-G and Wireless-N networks at the same time. So on your Wireless-N enabled computer, you'll see two networks to choose from, depending on your usage. For instance, if you're using your network for streaming HD movies or VoIP, you can connect over the Wireless-N network and use the Wireless-G for less demanding applications, such as connecting to your printer or sending email. And thanks to its QoS, or Quality of Service, the router will automatically prioritize its tasks according to your network's existing bandwidth and your needs. So if you're playing an online game, or streaming an HD video while someone else on your network starts downloading a large file, the router helps ensure that your games and video won't be interrupted. 
Four ports let you connect via ethernet cable. | Parental Controls and Security at Home
The RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router offers double firewall protection that includes network address translation, or NAT, to keep you network hidden from outside users, and stateful packet inspection, or SPI, firewall to deny outside requests for personal information. Other security measures include denial-of-service (DoS) attack prevention, intrusion detection and prevention (IDS), and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK). The router offers both 64-bit and 128-bit encryption as well as a wireless access control that identifies authorized wireless network devices connected to your network. For parental peace of mind, the RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router offers several options designed to keep your kids safe, including URL content filtering, time-based usage controls, and "trusted user" controls. The router's remote management controls make it easy to keep your kids online and protected. The RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router measures 8.8 x 6.0 x 1.2 inches (HxWxD) and comes with a 1-year manufacturer's warranty. What's in the Box

Summary: From Linksys to Netgear 2008-11-16
Comment: Over the past few years, I used the Linksys WRT Speedbooster model with a range extender. While I do not understand much about computers, it was a G model for whatever that is worth. My Linksys wifi system collapsed, please see other review if necessary, even with online tech support, the purchase of a new Linksys wifi router, etc. Once I reached the 12 hour mark with Linksys tech support, I gave up. All of the system was removed from the house, and replaced simply with this router. Max from a local store was nice enough to explain this model costs a little more but the dual band G and N, again for what that is worth, is all I would need for a 4400 square ft home. He stated there would be no need for a booster, extra wifi cards, etc, so I took him for his word. I even got to return my "broken" Linksys system and put it towards the Netgear model. Because of poor tech support, Linksys is sending me a refurb model of the WRT 54 G router with expander, but I will put this out to a yard sell or throw it away.
Set up was amazingly easy compared to my previous system. No time so far on tech support hell, so that is a big plus. Program for set up was so easy, and my computers were online in less than 30 minutes. Also, this model is very pleasing to the eye with easy to read symbols, good size, and the ability to stand it up. The previous model was simply cheap, low profile, and did not work. So far, I must say this system is great! Hopefully, it will continue to do well in the coming months.

Summary: worst router EVER 2008-11-11
Comment: This is the worst router and adapter I have ever owned. I have a ANCIENT Actiontec router that works better. Nothing but dropped connections and serious LAG time. Netgear customer service is THE WORST. They string you along for 3 months then offer to let you PURCHASE their lousy customer service for 85 dollars a year...or 69 dollars for 6 months. Great. I don't know what country their customer service reps are based in, but if you have trouble understanding a thick accent of some kind then don't waste your time calling. I haven't TIMED OUT on things since I had DIAL UP in the 90's. Run do not walk from this piece of JUNK!!!

Summary: Upgrade everything 2008-10-25
Comment: I'm going to keep this simple. The router was fairly easy to set up, better security, works with my G printer. HOWEVER, if you still have a computer with USB 1.0 ports, wait until you get a new computer with USB 2.0 before upgrading to N. The preferred wireless adapter for this router is for a USB port... needs to be USB 2.0 for those to work. I didn't have USB 2 on either my XP laptop (2004) or XP desktop (2002). So I got Netgear's WN511T card for my laptop... and the WN311T adapter for the desktop. Both wireless N adapters, but they weren't always reliable, even at 54Mbps. They would drop in and out. NOW, I do have have a new Vista desktop... and I'm still using the WN311T, and everthing works flawlessly with the new computer. So I would only suggest to make sure you have newer machines before going Wireless N. The speed was noticibly better, even on the XPs when I was connected. Worth the investment, and I like the added security N gives you. I had talked to Netgear about my problems with the XP computers, but they couldn't offer me any solution that worked. For all the bad raps Vista gets... it seems more N ready than XP.

Summary: Disappointed with performance and non-ease of use. 2008-10-14
Comment: After years of faithful service from my old Netgear router, I upgraded to this Netgear router. It does not allow any of the wireless computers in the house to connect to it with their internal cards. The push button feature does not work and Netgear tech support confirmed that. I set up a password on the router, and one laptop connected for ten minutes to it with its internal card and then could not reestablish a connection to it. I purchased two of Netgear's USB N adapters and those connect to the router - not the push button though, only with a password.
The N band network has a smaller range than the G band. If I go more than twenty feet from the router, the N band connection drops, and the dual band adapter finds the G band network. If I search for available networks, I need to move closer to the router to find the N band as available. My house isn't so big, but this is a disappointment because the N band is about five times faster than G.
Any computer that is hard-wired into the router does get a fast, steady connection.
