Review on πŸ”₯ Enhanced Performance Netgear WNDR4500-100PAS N900 Dual Band Gigabit Wireless Router by Jero Fontaine

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Served 17 months then burned out

The title speaks for itself: worked well enough for a not super powerful router. for 17 months. And then it suffered. We got a download/10MB upload speed of 70MB, which we've consistently achieved well through all three parts of the router: 2.4GHz WiFi, 5GHz WiFi, and an Ethernet cable. Then one day it just stopped working for 45 minutes. When I finally turned it on, we were capped at 20MB/0.5MB download speeds on all three. I replaced it with an 'old' router my parents had, a NightHawk 6900. Let me tell you, NightHawk actually pulls 100MB from our ISP - more than we pay! So here's a simple breakdown: This router just isn't worth it.

Cons
