NETGEAR - WNDR3400 N600 Wi-Fi Router | Black

Much improved over old router and no more stopping and reloading in the middle of a movie, etc. Our PS3 works better and overall speed of our internet is improved. No manual is provided and it's a good idea to download one before trying to install if you still have your old router hooked up.B Phone support was good but they try to sell you an extended warranty to help set up any device on your router.

Bought this to replace my early-'90s wireless router that finally bit the dust. I was very impressed with the ease of set-up; if you accept all the defaults it is essentially plug-and-play. If you need, or want, to customize things the supplied "Netgear Genie" software holds your hand in navigating through the many available tweaks & settings. Also has some cool extras, like producing a graphic illustration of your home network. The Wi-Fi not only is dual-band 2.4 & 5 GHz (nice if you are in a location where 2.4 GHz is crowded) but also lets you set up a separate pair of "Guest" channels with their own SID and password (or no password, if you prefer) which can have internet access while being blocked from accessing your own internal network/computer(s).
