IF you are installing these for customers, then you are not a very smart man!

FYI- staples had this same deal last week.

Hey FYI You can't get the Staples deal this week. 2 weeks ago it was Amazon at $25, Computers4Sure at $29. What used to be on sale does not really matter, does it. I paid $17 from OD for my Netgear, but that was then..

For Customers home they are just fine, I have not had to reboot any of them. Mine has been running now for 8 months. I like linksys the best, but when someone wants a good deal, the netgear fits the bill. The do a lot better than the D-Link's in my experience.

Now for corporate customer's I have used ReefEdge server's for authentication with Cisco Aeronet components or Cabletron.

For me I have found the range to be better than the D-Link, Microsoft. Slightly less range than the Linksys. For more range, you need to go with a more powerful model(big jump in cost) like the Cisco/Cabletron, or get an amplifier and a higher gain antenna, I like the sinclair, and antennex models myself, but there are a lot of good ones out there. Very easy to setup, but I find most of them pretty close to each other.

But all of this IMHO.

Do these do PPPoE for sbc dsl users? FWIW PCWorld ranks both Netgear routers among their top ten.

oh... and if you have a MicroCenter in your area, try a PM to get the AR cost to $20

It seems to be a pretty decent router. I've installed a few. Sort of like an RT314 with an AP on it.

FWIW, my RT314 has over 4500 hours of uptime on it now. Netgear makes some SOLID stuff.

most new routers have PPPOE dialup support

i think it should have it

(Still) available at Amazon for $26 after $20 rebate. Went ahead and ordered it as a replacement for a D-Link DI614+ which keeps rebooting for no reason...

Your post reeks of thread crap. Most people consider this Netgear router to be a good deal. If are aware of problems please share your experience or knowledge about this router with us. Don't just make an offhand remark indicating that this is a bad router and not back it up.

What difference does it make if Staples had this router for the same price last week. We don't get your point.

I'll never go back to Linksys. My linksys router constantly couldn't handle the simutaneous (upload/download) traffic with it's 33MHz ARM CPU. I could crash it within 5 secs ftping to another computer on my LAN. On the other hand my netgear rt314 never has gone down with it's 50MHz ARM CPU. I just ordered that Netgear WGR614 Wireless 802.11G for $44.64 at amazon after $20MIR.
