Had this unit for a year. Worked well and all the software options worked well. The VPN I did not use. When I attempted a firmware upgrade the unit hung during the upload and rendered the unit completely unusable. I emailed support but after a few days realized it was hopeless. When I told them I was going to throw it away and buy another brand they reminded me it had a lifetime warranty and swapped it for free. All in English too! I guess they ain't so bad after all.

Buyers beware. The setup was a bit of a pain but that wasn't the worst part. The security settings don't work! I set the router to only accept connections from a list of MAC addresses like I've set up my cheap D-Link and it didn't work. So I had to send the item back.

The product does NOT do what it advertises. When I first got mine, several of the features did not work(and still do not). The router locks up about once a day and the only way to get it back online is to perform a hard reset by pulling the power cable.
Netgear's support is horrid. If you can get past the language barrier, they only look for green lights on the front. If you have a software issue(which most seem to be) then you are out of luck getting help. Netgear also takes for ever to release firmware updates to fix the products.
Netgear, how about fully testing the product BEFORE releasing the buggy thing to the public. I will NEVER buy Netgear again and advise you not to either, spend your money elsewhere.
By the way, for those of you who purchase these products and dont even know what half of the features are on it, do not post here saying how much you love it. Try really using and pushing the product to do what it says it will do first, then post.

I purchase this router and I am very please with it. I have 6 gameconsoles hooked up to it and 4 desktops and 2 laptops for my home/business usuage. It was very easy to set up and have no issues with home networking, Xbox-Live and the Sony Playstataion Network. I also have a network repeater and it sync with it without any issue. A great value and feature if you need a router that ''does it all'' and this one does...a 5 out of 5!
