I bought this because I got a good deal on it at a local store. However, after setting it up and not being able to get the router to work without frequent drop outs requiring a reboot, I went online to check reviews. I was amazed to find that nearly everyone here has had the exact same experience as me. This product must be faulty in its basic design.In terms of the wireless card for my laptop that goes with it, I couldn't even get it to work. After a very frusterating few days, I returned the product and bought a lynksys and it set up like a dream. Flawless so far (only 2 days but still eons better than the netgear product).I would absolutely avoid this product like the plague!!
