NetGear WGT624

Pros: Strong connection, easy set-up, reliable service

Cons: None that I can find

The Bottom Line: This is a very good unit that is made well and it performs well. Very simple to use and maintain.

Review: I bought a laptop in 2007 that had built-in wireless, so I thought it was time to upgrade my home network. I purchased a refurbished NetGear WGT624 wireless router in March of 2007. I only paid $19.50 for it, so I didn't expect too much from it, but I ...

Pros: Firmware upgrades easy and do fix stuff Connection rarely drops Good coverage/speed Supports UPnP

Cons: Port forwarding doesnt work as preferred Cant use router without finishing initial setup wizard

The Bottom Line: It is a great router if obtained at the right price. Excellent coverage, excellent speeds. Great appearance. Initial setup wizard a pain if you dont follow the manuals closely.

Review: I have used a Linksys WRT54GC (which USPS lost in transit to Linksys for an RMA...thanks USPS) and a Hawking HWR54G in the same exact setup as I have the Netgear WGT624NA currently in. Of them all, the Netgear has been the best so far. (Netgear puts ...

Pros: Similar to older netgear model installation menu/process, so should make for an easy upgrade path.

Cons: None that I could find - though I only performed the install.

The Bottom Line: If looking to upgrade from an earlier/older model of Netgear router, this one seems a good choice to make.

Review: A neighbor of mine needed help configuring his wireless network so he called me to ask if I could walk him through the install on the phone. I am in the IT field and he's WAY not! :) My first question was the router model number so I could look up ...

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 and got ...

Pros: Easy Setup
Great Connection - at 104Mbps, streaming data works well
Good-looking design

Cons: Need to have some knowledge of networking
Need specific PC card to reach 104Mbps

The Bottom Line: Can't see how other products could be better.

Review: INTRODUCTION: I finally jumped into the modern world and got high-speed internet and my wife wanted to be able to roam the house with her laptop computer. So i found a great deal on amazon.com: $90 for this item in a package with the WG511T PC wireless ...

Pros: Great feature set and good-looking device.

Cons: Lacking ability to change router logon name. Only password can be changed.

The Bottom Line: You can hardly go wrong with this router. Read my review for more information.

Review: I've had this router for about 7 months now and find it to be quite nice. It looks good and performs well. Note that this is a Pre-802.11n router. Now that the standard is now final there may have been changes that may cause problems working with true ...

Pros: QUICK AND EASY BASIC SET-UP

Cons: SECURITY SETTINGS ARE NOT AUTOMATICALLY TURNED ON. POOR DOCUMENTATION FOR THE MORE ADVANCED SETTINGS

The Bottom Line: VERY EASY TO INSTALL EVEN FOR BEGINNERS. THE SPEED IS DEFINATELY AN ASSET AS WELL AS THE COVERAGE

Review: I RECENTLY PURCHASED NETGEAR'S WGT624 ROUTER ALONG WITH THE WG511T WIRELESS NETWORK ADAPTER... I PAID $99.00 FOR THE ROUTER AND $79.00 FOR THE CARD FROM CIRCUIT CITY...THERE IS $80.00 REBATE UNTIL 10/23/04. I DID MY HOMEWORK WHEN RESEARCHING WHICH ...

Pros: Easy to install. Mindlessly simple to run.

Cons: Nothing to report so far.

Review: I bought the router this afternoon. Brought it home and plugged it all in following the folded instructions sheet. Very simple direct instructions. I started up my wired computer; my wireless laptop was already running in the room. Both machines ...

Pros: Much faster than a comparable Linksys router with much greater wireless range.

Cons: Certain combinations of router firmware and adapter drivers are unstable at best.

The Bottom Line: Fast like a race car; temperamental like a race car. Buy it only if you're prepared for the upkeep.

Review: I bought the WGT624 (WGT624 v2 to be exact) because I was very impressed with the Netgear MR814 (802.11b - 11 Mbps) I had purchased for my daughter to take to college. While I was setting the MR814 up, I noticed that the throughput on the Netgear's wired ...

Pros: Plenty of Features, Good Security, Affordable, High Range, High Bandwidth

Cons: Instability, Bad firmware, Sluggish clearly-outsourced support, SPI firewall not configurable, Missing advertised logs

The Bottom Line: All the makings of a good router but poor firmware. Buy it if you have time to mess around or wait.

Review: The WGT624 is rather a mixed bag. Some people have problems with it and others don't--however, many do. If you are a newbie or would like a hassle-free, stable router, don't touch this; at least, not until they get a GOOD firmware update and stop using ...
