Title: Connection problems getting worse
Product review: Got this in December of 2002. It worked quite well for 9 months, although the port-forwarding feature is iffy at best. Nice amount of parental controls (ie:block undesirable websites by url or keyword). I live in an area with at least 4 other wireless networks and I have restricted mine by MAC address so only my 2 computers can use it. Fairly good range on the wireless area.Despite the good points, after 9 months the Netgear starting dropping the wireless signal. After several firmware updates, it ran sporadic, but acceptable. Then after 11 months starting dropping the entire internet connection, requiring frequent reboots, often times several reboots in a row in order to get it to connect. I'm now using an "special" beta firmware (4.14 RC3) in order to address the problem. The last beta firmware lasted only 3 days before giving out, but I'm hoping better from this.I would not recommend this router.
