I wish I had read the other reviews before buying this. It does look good but the first unit I received had some form of fault which meant that the wifi only worked after changing the channel. The second unit did not have that fault, but with 801.11n selected the connection was unreliable. Selecting 801.11b/g made it more reliable, and using fixed ip addresses as opposed to DHCP has improved reliability further, but even so it often needs to be rebooted for the wifi to work. And there is a bug in the software that means when you set up a fixed ip address to a device with a MAC address starting with anything other than 00 the Javascript considers this an invalid address. I have still not been able to connect to my Blackberry successfully. As you can see, I have spent a great deal of time to achieve a service that is only just acceptable. The wifi range is just about OK, but not that brilliant. The unit also creates quite a bit of heat. On the positive side, the ADSL modem appears rock solid, although it does take longer to synch than my old router.
Oh how frustrating, the wifi went down a second time in as many hours while I was writing this review. I had to reboot again in order to post the review.

After reading a few of the reviews here, it seems that there are two types of DGN1000 - the ones that work and the ones that don't. Unfortunately they aren't labelled that way, and it's just pot luck which one you get.
Having owned a DGN1000 for around 6 months, its connection reliability has been nothing short of appalling. I am now about to buy something else, and return the unit to Netgear as 'unfit for purpose'.
In short, it was simple enough to set up, but just cannot hold a signal for longer than a few hours of use. Some days I have to reboot it four or five times. Occasionally that's four or five times in an hour! I ended up on the phone with Netgear Support, whose response was along the lines of 'yeah, we're getting a lot of trouble with that one and we don't know how to fix it. We can try a few things and hope that they might work.' Well, nothing worked, it's as bad as ever...
Unless you're a habitual gambler, I would strongly recommend that you look for a more reliable unit.

An intermittent fault with this router caused it to stop routing packets properly which I'm fairly sure was a firmware issue. Regardless I did as the Netgear support said and paid for it to be sent to be 'repaired'. It came back with exactly the same problem and I gave up as I'd already wasted plenty of hours testing. Thankfully amazon were very helpful and prompt with returning/refunding the purchase. It could just have been an isolated bad unit, but I can't recommend this device.

No problems
I've been using this router for about 6 months and so far I've had no problems at all.
It was easy to set up, the wireless signal is pretty good and it works.

Appalling wireless
My Dad bought this because his old router died, how I wish he had spoken to me first. Old netgear (note, dual antenna on that bad boy) had flawless wireless. Read more
