Netgear DG834PN RangeMax ADSL Modem Router & WPN111 Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter


Not bad, but a little conflict...
I have had my trusty old Netgear Wireless Router DG834PN and USB stick for a while and its great at connecting my home network (xbox 360, pc and laptop) with a fair connection speed which can vary from 36mb - 54/108mb.

It is very easy to setup, the support from netgear if you do have problems can vary from satisfactory to exceptional.

The downside of this router is that unfortunately this router operates at the same frequency and channels as my wireless PS3 controllers (even if you change channels there is still conflicts).

Meaning if you have a ps3 dont buy this, as it drops the connection every 5 minutes and the ps3 cannot detect upnp ports on this either (meaning you have to manually open the ports...)

If you stream video content between your pc and your X360, remember that this is "acceptable", but you would probably be better spending slightly more and investing in the netgear dg834n instead.

Overall it is a great wireless...
Easy to use wireless router
This system was simple to set up. Instructions were easy to follow and I was up and running in about 30 minutes - this includes installing the wireless adaptor.

One thing to look out for is the network connection within the PC. Mine was disabled so check yur hardware settings before installing.
Neatgear - you're the tops!
As a Vista user I would like to chip in and say that I most heartily agree with previous reviewers. Installation is especially a doddle using the wizard software and - as has been previously mentioned - what an absolute and unexpected relief, no need to wait on the phone for ages wasting time and money seeking and (eventually) receiving help. In the past, I've had Linksys and Belkin units and each time it's been the same sorry old story :-(
