We purchased our first unit and 3 months later it simply stopped working, no radio, nothing.

We purchased a second unit and it has issues with DHCP where it repetitively drops and reassigns an IP address every 30 seconds or so. I upgraded to the latest firmware (a huge user interface difference), but the problem persisted. I reset the unit to factory settings and once I had set everything up again, nada. It's going back.

Time for another make and model.

can connect from 10m from android with WIFI gets plenty in speed and havent had any problems.

This is simply the worst piece of rubbish I have ever seen. I had one for 2 days before returing it for a full refund and replacing it with a Billion BiPac 7800n.

The wireless signal was so poor I could only connect with a range of less than 1 meter. I flashed and reset the device 3 times with the latest firmware before giving up on it. The interface looks like it hasn't been upgraded since 1998 and when shelling out this kind of dough that is NOT OK.

Seriously, don't bother.

This router is advertised as DLNA complaint but mine cannot reliably stream media to an LG Smart TV either wired or wirelessly. The DLNA drops out between 1 and 20 minutes after you start watching something on the TV.

In a classic runaround LG insist the router is not fully DLNA compliant.
Forums seem to confirm that v1 especially is a problem. v2 of the same router, which has 16mb flash ram vs 8mb for v1, is not so bad apparently.

At least LG answered my query.

Netgear never even responded.

Bought the router because of the exellent press, but brought is back after testing: the range is far less than my old 54GL router and the (wireless) speed also can't compete with the good old 54. Lan speed and features are ok. Allthough Media streaming over the network with an USB (2.0) HD connected to the USB port is not possible.
Does a test team of a computer magazine (i.e. Computer!Totaal) really test a system or just read the advertising on the glossy box?
