Spent an hour talking to tech help at mediacom. Then the guy went and looked up some stuff on the router and found out that the router does not work with mediacom service.

I was not impressed by this product and returned it the next day. The set up wizard didn’t do any thing but show you where to plug in the cords…duh? The first computer that went in allowed me to access the router but not the internet. The instructions said to re boot and unplug power on the modem and router which I did. After that I was able to get to the internet but not the router. The second computer wouldn’t access the internet either. After about 2 hours of this “run in circles” routine; I put the Linksys router back in and placed the Netgear back in the box.
Re booting constantly is not a good network/routing system.

I dislike netgear for several problems:
1. It doesn’t allow me to access yahoo or hotmail for weird reason.
2. Bad customer service.
3. Hard to configure.

I bought this router in Oct. 2003,I’ve had it for 7 months and was very happy with the performance, the durability is another thing altogether. I tried to unplug the router to reset it and the adapter was literally stuck in the female socket so I pulled on it rather hard to get it out and it finally let loose. When I plugged it back in I had no power until I pushed the plug very hard back into the female socket and then if I bumped it I had no power again. Obviously a faulty part but when I called support I was informed that it was my fault that it was not working correctly, I should have taken it back to my hardware vendor and had them pull the plug out so therefore I cannot return it as faulty. I told the woman that I was very dissapointed and would never buy another Netgear product again and she told me that “That is your choice sir, have a good day.” I have never been treated like this by a reputable company before in my life. Be very careful when buying this or any other Netgear product. TERRIBLE SUPPORT AND CUSTOMER RELATIONS! Don’t belive me? You will when you try to resolve a problem with this router…fair warning.

I bought this unit with high hopes of sharing my cable modem connection with my wife but after a month, it still sits idle and useless. I have tried multiple times to get the thing to work, carefully following the instructions and consulting the Netgear Web site for help, to no avail. I’m using a new AMD PC with Win XP, lastest service pack, MS IE 6.0.28, and I use Comcast as an ISP…all to say I have a rather garden-variety set-up. One additional word of caution, if you play on-line games, this device may degrade performance.
