    Hi guys

    I know many of you are looking for the best router possible, so I would liek to share some experince with this router and company's support to make it a little easier on your purchasing adventures. This is a brief review

    I bought this route from BestBuy for 59.99. Got home, ripped the box apart (I was excited to finally have my internet running at home, OK? Anyway, the first thing that you have to do, which is written all over the instructions - put the CD in CD rom and follow the instructions. That is exactly what I did and it took literally 10 minutes to have my own wireless network up and running. That's it, nothing else. Router itself looks very stylish and neat. It is not bulky or alien looking like Lynksys and has cute "legs" that holds this router in upright position
    I have heard rumors that it Netgear products get hot due to its small and cute factor, but I have this thing running already for like a week straight and it does not even feel warm. My Comcast modem is blazing (comparatevily speaking). The range on this thing is simply amazing. Now I do not have any prior experiance with any other products as far as range, so this might not be fair comparison, but this is what I experinced. Also, I do not have a house - I live in two bedroom apartment and the range is simply oustanding. I have never had a drop in this week and it does not look like it is going to happen.

    Now - I did have some system blocked thing that was restricting me connecting to my wireless network and so I had to call their 24/7 suport. I registered my product first and called. Explained the problem. Tech specialist was so courtageous and professional - he took me through step by step to figure out what was the problem. In about 10 minutes I was connected to the internet and whola - this thing is a beauty

    So for all of you out there who want cheap, stylish, outstanding router - this is the one to get. Great product, great service and does excellent job at what it suppose to do

    I hope this helps some of you with your purchase!

    Good luck
