My setup is one desktop pc, one netbook, an Xbox 360, a Wii, and an iPod Touch that all share my Comcast connection. I live in an apartment building, so I was getting a lot of wireless interference with my old WGR614v9. After a simple manual setup, all devices have blazing connections! Xbox is on it's own 5gHz network for streaming Netflix while everything else shares a 2.4gHz network. Even with the Mrs. playing WoW on the desktop, no hiccups in speed whatsoever. Streaming and online gaming would bring my old router to it's knees.

Bought this N600 to replace my old Netgear. First thing I noticed was my signal strength was much weaker than my old wireless router. I was getting 1 to 2 bars with my laptop that was about 20 feet away in an adjacent room. My neighbor's router had a stronger signal than the N600 at 2.4GHz. Could have been a defect in this particular router I bought. Called Tech Support and we spent about an hour trying various settings to improve signal strength, but nothing worked. I was surprised that the tech support guy told me the 2.4GHz worked better with WEP @64 bits for Windows XP. Didn't seem right to me, but I took his word for it. I ended up replacing the N600 for a N300 Open Source Netgear. The N300 worked much better with a stronger signal strength.

          Comments about Netgear N600 RangeMax™ Dual Band Wireless-N Router:

          I bought this router in February. Store clerk said I could have it replaced if it malfunctioned even before the 90 day warranty because the warranty, he said, began the day I bought it. Called Staples Product Replacement after repeated drop outs and factory resets, when none of the 5 wireless devices I own, that were just functioning perfectly and all of which are less than 6 months old, would not connect. Called Staples Product Replacement and they claimed SOFTWARE which is the catch-all phrase of this decade!!! They won't honor my replacement, this has cost me the $96 plus a $300 newspaper article deadline that I missed. I don't have the money to replace it out of pocket so now I will lose the best job I've ever had, unless I beg to use a friends or neighbors wireless connection!!! I can't submit my stories online. I can't prepare for a tutoring meeting tomorrow because I can't print to my wireless printer. I can't work because Staples wants to rip off customers by claiming everything is software related. Not true! Staples lost me as a customer. This is not the first problem I've had with them honoring warranties!!! But it is the last!!! DON'T BUY PRODUCT REPLACEMENT WARRANTIES FROM STAPLES! BUY AT [@]

              This router supports 802.11a/b/g/n, so your older wireless cards should connect to it just fine (although they obviously won't be able to take advantage of the higher speed and range offered by the 'n' specification).

              This particular model's USB port is only configured for attaching storage devices (i.e. a thumb drive or external hard drive). Within Netgear's N600 line, the WNDR3800 ("premium edition") router is the lowest model that supports printing to an attached USB printer.

            I have a question I have not seen an answer to. I bought the N300, but, unfortunately, it keeps blanking out because I live 5 minutes from the airport. Everytime a plane takes off or lands, it interrupts my router. I live in a 2 bedroom apt and have a laptop, IPod, and an Xbox. Will the N600 fix this problem? The planes do fly realllllyyy close.
