I bought this router specifically for RADIUS authentication as mentioned on the datasheet provided on the NETGEAR website. Once arrived I was in for nasty surprise that no such feature exists. A quick search revealed posts like this [...] saying they were all mislead. I am waiting for an official response from NETGEAR on this. It appears that at somepoint they updated the firmware to version 2.0.1 and REMOVED RADIUS without updating the manual or the datasheet. Now I have to waste time dealing with this issue.

A professional build standard and quality with full flexibility - good value product.

The AP is provided with a comprehensive range of programmable options that may present difficulties for the less experienced, as knowledge of IP address control, 802.11 standards, security and WiFi terminology is required. Use with older PCs using 802.11b will require resets to many parameters and the Wizard WPS setup will not be available, needing manual keying of access codes for example. It took about an hour to set up but works faultlessly within a fairly restricted coverage within the home (wireless-n promises better range - not yet assessed).

Overall an excellent keenly priced product well worth the effort to set up.

I wanted to use an AP as my router is not reaching all the house areas properly. so I bought a different AP from Maplin, but it turned to be very complicated to install plus it didn't work properly because it kept disconnecting my devices after every few minutes of putting the username and passwords.
then i returned it and bought this Netgear AP, very easy installation , reliable, worked properly , boosting my broadband throughout the whole extension and all my devices are connected from the 1st time.
great with apple products(iphone, iPad, and my Mac)

Does what it says on the box. Was recommended by somone in computer indusrty. Plugged it in and off it went.

Great product. Full marks. Had it installed and it does what it is supposed to without incident! Netgear seems the industry standard today.

Does exactly what it says on the tin with no problems in setting up. Granted it does need a modicum of computer knowledge to set it up and it has the latest cable only modification, so no more pirating signals off your system by your neighbours. The WAP can be set to just accept the computer on a list or open access for a pub. The range is a little low for an "N" but it certainly works, giving the full 300MB/S over internal networks. It doesnt like being hidden away though, it cuts the signal dramatically, but its a great little unit.
