NETGEAR ProSafe WNDAP330 - Wireless access point - 802.11b/g/n (draft) - external Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been running Netgear ProSafe networking equipment for many years for my small office at home. Due to its typically high reliability, performance and value I always stick with the prosafe line (geared toward business or enterprise use) over the consumer grade networking gear which is often unreliable.This is the first 802.11n unit that I found which was designed for the enterprise.So I broke down and picked it up for about $300 with shipping.The most important thing to know about this unit is that despite their advertising this unit as a dual band with both 802.11n and 802.11abg radios; the radios cannot both be used at the same time.You can only turn on one or the other.This is a major limitation as far as I'm concerned.For those of us replacing old 802.11g equipment my preference would be for this unit to be able to support 802.11g legacy clients with one of the radios and also be able to support 802.11n 5ghz clients with the other 5ghz radio.

The range of the unit in 5ghz 40 mhz mode is quite short.Definately less than the WG102 802.11g unit that it was replacing.Since the range is so short I will have to get an additional unit and put it upstairs.Also, the firmware is a bit buggy and reliability doesn't seem as good as the mature wg102 unit.I'm certain that reliability will improve over time and perhaps speed too; but righ now I'd recommend sticking with 802.11g unless you absolutely have to upgrade to 802.11n.********************************

update

After countless hours of troubleshooting, I've finally narrowed down the problem.The unit is just not reliable with WMM turned on regardless of 20/40 mhz.With WMM turned off the unit is super reliable but only runs at 54mbps.

Stay away from this unit until more firmware updates are available resolving the WMM problem with Intel 5300 and Intel 4965 laptop nic cards.Don't know if this applies to other vendor nic cards.

Netgear GS116NA Giga Switch 16Pt Metal Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Netgear is supposed to have a 5 year warranty (2 on the power supply).I had one of these for about 18 months. Over the last months it's been increasingly flaky, every week or two it just hangs and needs to be unplugged and started again.It doesn't matter how much it's in use (it's done it when we've been on vacation with minimal network traffic).

I called Netgear to get it replaced, but they told me that it's not meant to be plugged in all day, so they won't fix it.Unless you actually unplug all your network equipement when you are not actively using it (I didn't think so), then I highly recommend avoiding Netgear products.

Netgear ReadyNAS Duo 2-Bay 2 TB (2 x 1 TB) Network Attached Storage RND2210 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just placed an order for my second Readynas Duo.Done with backing up PC's to thumb drives, Cd's or DVD's.Internet access is great once it is configured.I could never get the remote software to work, so I'd looked around the web for directly setting up web access.
