Title: Was nice while it lasted
Product review: I bought and installed version 6 of this device a couple of years ago. On the positive side, it was easy to install and it offered a reasonable set of features, if not everything I wanted. However, in the last two days, it has been going out to lunch for no reason that I can see: while the unit shows activity on its Internet and wireless LEDs, and it continues to show up in a scan for wireless networks, it will not issue DHCP leases on the LAN side, and it will not respond to ICMP pings from either the WAN or the LAN sides. Rebooting the box clears the problem, but this is not an acceptable solution. Since NetGear says my support options all involve me paying money, I expect to buy a new wireless router with a different brand label.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
