I bought this to replace an ageing DG834 router - the classic mid-noughties model that (at the time) was the bees knees, and vastly superior to the tat that was being given away by ISPs to their lucky customers. The DG834, however was struggling with the increasing number of devices in our home that were connected to it - plus it kept locking up and locking everybody out, which wasn't ideal.
The D1500 claims an improved spec, but I haven't noticed much difference between this and the older model it replaced (for me). The wireless signal seems to be of similar strength to the 834 and just about reaches to the corners of our modest-sized 3-bedroom house. The D1500 still 'hangs' like the old router did and requires powering down and re-starting after a respectful 60 seconds' pause for contemplation: "Hmmmm... why did I buy this router, I wonder...?". I'd say it does hang less often than the DG834 - on average about once every few weeks.
In terms of download speed, the router isn't the bottleneck in our street, it's the broadband connection, so it's hard to judge how speedy the N300 spec is compared to 10-year-old technology. Since this device has an ADSL modem, you're likely to be using it on a copper connection and thus subject to the same limitations.
The D1500 was easy to set up (although I found that the setup 'wizard' would only run once; because I had to power it down to retrieve a password from the old router, it booted into the normal router management screen). Changing the admin password is straightforward, although this is bizarrely hidden under "advanced" options - I would have thought that was essential for all users. You can download a firmware upgrade from the Netgear site that allegedly patches a vulnerability in the router operating kernel. The router comes with a quick install guide; if you want the full manual you have to download it from the Netgear website.

Decent workhorse. Not a stunning improvement on the 10-year-old router it was bought to replace, though.

The worst customer service I have ever encountered and forget about a 2 year warranty as it's pointless trying to claim.
