Review on 🔌 Enhanced NETGEAR N600 Dual Band Wi-Fi ADSL (Non-Cable) Modem Router with ADSL2+ and Gigabit Ethernet (DGND3700) by Brett Blazis

I'm glad I chose V2 as there are so many bad reviews for the original. Stable connection without interruptions DHCP connection with the provider; However, if you use the radio buttons to connect to ISP STATIC, it's the same with the ISP's DNS servers. The router is blocked and does not connect after pressing APPLY. Internet access devices which need a static connection to the ISP to maintain the ISP assigned address in order to function properly.) Purchased this after replacing the DSL modem and also Netgear kept losing DNS connection and couldn't with this one Netgear router of the same model without DSL that I have and have loved for 2 years. The original DSL modem provided by AT&T began dropping connections to the ISP, requiring constant modem and router reboots. The other thing I don't care about is a USB connection to a 1TB hard drive that behaves like a NAS when plugged into a router and only works with that device as a media streaming device. and is not visible to my computers on the network; found no work around this. In the end, a SHORT CUT was made on the desktop to access the files stored on the hard drive for each computer on the network (Win-7 OS home network). Errors when making router or DSL configuration changes using Microsoft Internet Explorer; I ended up contacting Netgear tech support and the tech couldn't get it to work either so connected me to his manager. It also didn't fix the problem, I had Firefox installed on the computer just a few minutes earlier, when we switched to Firefox as the internet browser we were able to interface and make changes. (Shame on you Microsoft IE 11) I don't have wireless connection to my computers so turn off the WiFi on the router, use only guest accounts on the WiFi and change the router name to make it harder to hack and change that too Password in guest WLAN . URL access to the router and USB hard drive is disabled. If I want to use laptops that are not part of my network, I use guest WiFi. I have 15 computers and 3 routers connected to a router/DSL that separates my computer networks, my home computer repair shop has its own router, a 16 port switch, the business server network is behind the router and the proxy server. Entertainment media in the house has its own NAS server router and Wi-Fi. The video surveillance system connects directly to the router/DSL for remote surveillance when unavailable. Believe me, that's a fair assessment of the Netgear device. As does most of their products, which is why I now have 3 routers from them and several of their professional switches.
