One of the attributes I really like about this router is its small size, which enabled me to tie a shoestring around it and hang it from a nail on the wall in an unobtrusive location. Interestingly, after I had upgraded from an Apple G4 laptop with a self-installed wireless card to a newer MacBook model with built-in wireless, connection strength and download speeds dramatically improved, leading me to conclude that much of a wireless router's capabilities depend greatly upon whether one's computer has a good wireless card installed. This maximizes broadcast/reception strength and keeps it out of sight. I bought this router in 2004, so I've had it in use in my apartment for over four years. It's worked flawlessly during that time, with good connection strength throughout my apartment, and fast download/upload speeds.
I have bought it in 2004 and still using it without any problem.All I did is updated the software and it is good as anything
A G router has now replaced it, but I still use this as a backup and portable router. Excellent router that has served me without a hitch for 3 years.
That's how I ended up with Netgear. Started with Lynksys originally but could not get it to work with Windows PC. Unplugging it seems to help it regain it's transmitting power.
Netgear replaced it with the same model since it was under warranty. It's used constantly so not sure if it just burns out or what. Bought the MR 814 and within 2 years it's antenna or transmitting capability died.
Used all day long on one iMac and then by additional Mac and Windows PC as well as iTouch.It now transmits intermittently and occassionally will just stop transmitting. It was pretty much plug and play. 3 years later it's dieing again.
Not under warranty.
I TELL YOU I AM VERY DISAPOINTED AND I WILL NEVER BYT ONE HERE AGAIN. I BOUGHT A WIRELESS ROUTER FROM AMAZON AND I CAN'T EVEN USE IT. FOR ONE NO SOFTWARE AND TWO I DON'T THINK IT EVEN COMES WITH A MODEM.
