Title: Buy only if browsing the web...everything else crashes it
Review: The only stable firmware for this product is the 1.01 version. All subsequent firmware releases (1.06, 1.10) are unstable. The nat does not clean up unused tcp connections and will die under heavy loads (heavy being running something such as eMule for more than a day). The router software is extraordinarily inefficient; it cannot juggle streaming media and regular browsing. You must do one or the other, but not both at once. This could probably be an awesome product if there were aftermarket firmware available, but since it is a closed product you must rely on Netgear to fix the bugs, which they seem unwilling to do. Save yourself a headache and create your own firewall with a mini-pc (at least you can change the underlying software!) or get a different product.
Is the review positive or negative?
