Reviews of the Netgear WPN824 router
-
CNET Review
The Good: Fast throughput; long range; compact design; seven internal antennas help counteract interference from cordless phones and neighboring networks.
The Bad: Twice the price of a standard Wi-Fi router; mediocre performance when used with legacy 802.11b gear.
The Bottom Line: The Netgear RangeMax router is among the best-performing routers we've seen.
