The Netgear WGT624 Wireless Router is an excellent product, but without a CD Installation could be a little bit complicated for new users. The good: SPI firewall; excellent throughput; content filtering. The bad: Incomplete installation guide; lacks WDS support Other features, such as an SPI firewall and support for Dynamic DNS, make the WGT624 a good choice for techies who are looking for a high-performance wireless router and are willing to perform an occasional firmware upgrade. The Netgear WGT624 108Mbps wireless firewall router has a good feature set that meets the needs of both advanced users and those with little or no networking experience. The WGT624's browser-based configuration tool is easy to navigate and offers features tailored for family networking. The tool is password-protected and includes a content-filtering section that gives you control over the types of sites your computers can access, letting you restrict access based on keywords, service types, IP addresses, and times of day. The WGT624 also displays detailed logs of the Web sites that your computers have accessed or attempted to access, which lets you police the types of traffic passing through your network.Read full review
The WGT624 is a solid working wireless-G router with all the standard features, but many people are misled about some of it's features.. the router is capable of wireless rates upto 108mbps.. but only if you use a Netgear 108mbps adapter card on your computer. the 108MBPS speeds also only work on wireless channel 6, which is a commonly used 'default' channel for wireless, and usually swamped with interferance because of this.. therefor, transmission rates drop drastically. As a straight wireless-g (54mbps) router, it's solid, and finds the clearest channel on it's own, with decent range as long as you dont stick it in a corner (as with any wireless router.. walls do block signals). Luckily, this router can be wall/cieling mounted, which increases range quite a bit. The WGT624 is also capable of running DD-WRT and Tomato 3rd party firmwares, which increase it's features, but will disable the 108MBPS datarates as that feature is only incorperated into the stock firmware (which is still available on the Netgear website, in spite of this router being nearly obsolete). For the price you can find this router for, you can find true wireless-n routers.Read full review
The Netgear wireless router, VERSION 4, is great. Other versions do not work as well. Version 4 is fast and stable. Setup is really easy and it is quite reliable.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
The NetGear Wireless Routers are very simple to install and will normally provide wireless service for the entire house. Buying a used unit can be a problem if the unit does not come with the software CD. Without the CD the internet is the source for installing and progrmming the NetGear Router. The website is easy to find with any search engine. The problem arises when the previous owner changed the login name and password from their default settings. Without the login name and password the website is useless. Don't dispare. There is a reset button on the back of the router. It takes a paperclip or toothpick to activate the reset since the button is recessed. After resetting the router, just set up the router to perform as desired. Good Luck...Deryle
I first used this router 4? years ago...got an extra one when I moved to a bigger house. 1 upstairs, 1 downstairs. Pretty solid for the money...easy to set up and use...and has the ability to be customized to my needs. Good speeds too...
