Product Description
Up the Speed of Your Wireless Network NETGEAR's Cable/DSL 54 Mbps Wireless Router lets you experience the blazing-fast network wireless speeds of 54 Mbps up to five times faster than the popular 802.11b wireless network. These higher speeds make it a snap to web surf, download large files, videoconference, stream high-quality digital movies, MP3 music and photos and play online games. This wireless router also works with 802.11b wireless products so you can use it with your existing 802.11b devices and your new 54 Mbps, 802.11g devices. Auto-sensing chooses the fastest connections possible on your 10/100 Mbps wide area network and four local area network ports. True Firewall (SPI) advanced security provides maximum protection from professional hackers. URL blocking and e-mail alerts provide parents with controls to limit access to inappropriate web sites and monitor children's access. Simple to install, you just follow the cues shown on your PC screen and your router will be up and running in no time. Smart Wizard auto-detects and configures for the best ISP connection, while UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) makes it easy to use your computers, gaming consoles and other client devices – wireless and Ethernet – for gaming, instant messaging, and other applications.
Powerful High-speeds propel media-rich content across your network in no time. You can conveniently share your cable/DSL connection with many users on your network with or without wires. Delivers 10/100 Mbps (auto-sensing) WAN and LAN connections and interoperability with 54 Mbps (802.11g) and 11 Mbps (802.11b) devices over a 2.4 GHz band wireless network.
Secure A true firewall secures your network against hackers: Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) and Denial of Service (DoS) attack prevention averts potential threats by scanning incoming traffic and Network Address translation (NAT) shields your networked devices from intruders. Powerful WEP encryption (40/64- or 128-bit) on the wireless LAN conceals your information from eavesdroppers. MAC Address Control prevents unauthorized access to your wireless network. VPN pass-through give secure Internet access to your office or corporate network. A free 8-PC license of Freedom Zero-Knowledge Systems (a $240 value) prevents applications from sending your personal information over the Internet and blocks ads.
Child Safe Parents are able to limit web access by blocking offensive content and URL addresses, and the router sends real-time email alerts and logs of all network web activity. Comprehensive anti-virus protection ensures safety for your networked computers.

Install Assistant, NETGEAR’s interactive tutorial, gives you simple prompts to guide you through each step of your installation. Applications that support UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) may be enabled to automatically interact with users over the Internet. Sleek design that comes with a vertical stand saves space.

Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased this Netgear Router as I sometimes work from home, supporting a network out of hours and wanted to use my existing Telewest broadband connection to VPN in to the companies network. The router automatically detected the connection from the cable modem and my home PC was up and running in seconds, it then took me a matter of minutes to setup the wireless connection from my work laptop - I plumpted for the 128 bit WEP encryption and I also used the Access Control List for greater security. The web interface is very friendly and easy to use.
Its been extremely realiable so far and is a very tidy, neat device that discreetly flashes away to let you know that its connected and all is well.
There are quite a few more features in the router, NAT, static routes, etc which I will probably never use but are there if you have a small business setup.
In all, I'm very pleased and recommend it.

This is an excellent product,it arrived within the promised delivery schedule,and in pefect condition. I was concerned about the installation,security etc,but without cause,it was a doddle to install.
I put the CD in my desk top (1 of 2 in the same room), followed the instructions,checked out my laptop down stairs,logged onto the wireless network,put in the passphrase,worked first time ,its very easy to install honest.Would highly recomend this router for anyone who has cable broadband,Telewest/virgin,its works great.

This really is one great bit of kit. I have a desktop, laptop and NTL broadband. The router allows 4 wired network connections so I didn't have to buy a wireless card for my desktop. Setup was Plug and Play and instantly gave me a home network and configurable firewall.
I bought a Netgear Wireless 54G PCMCIA Adapter for my laptop and that was also very straight forward. I get 100% signal strength all over the house.
If you're tempted then go for it.

poor documentation
Once up and running the router is fine, but the documentation has big differences between the box, cd and online forms. This makes it a random guessing process whilst setting up.
