Review on NETGEAR WPN824NA Wireless Mimo Router by Adam Townsend

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good router at a great price

I just got a WPN824NA (refurbished) and replaced my old Netgear WGR614 which has worked great for years. The old router just didn't cover a space for about 50 feet with three walls in between. 824EXT does its job. Now I have two or three bars in this room. Installation and checkout were relatively easy (about 30 minutes). If you're already experienced with Netgear, the admin screen is pretty much the same for most settings, so I just made a note of the current settings on the old router and moved them to the WPN824NA. The refurbished WPN824 for about $20 (including shipping) was great. Price. If you only need 802.11g, this router will do the trick. Updated 10/10/2011. It has been running 24/7 since the day I received it. I usually turn off the power every 2 weeks. No problems no complaints. I am very happy. Updated 08/23/2015. No problem. Upgraded to 5 stars because it's like the Energizer Bunny (for the older generation, like the Timex watch), it just keeps going.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
