Nice router, refurbs sell for a really good price.

Date of Review:  Apr 10, 2009
Review: I bought this as a refurb for $20 including shipping to replace an older router. Set up was no problem as I just gave it the old routers settings. Silly blue disco lights can be turned off with a switch on the back. I go weeks before I feel the need...

The Netgear RangeMax WPN 824 Is An Excellent Performing MIMO Router with Seven Internal Antennas

Date of Review:  Aug 6, 2008
The Bottom Line: This outstanding performing factory refurbished router is an outstanding buy right now especially to replace an earlier 24 MHz G type keeping your existing wireless cards
Review: This router provide exceptional range when compared with older older non-MIMO (Multi-In, Multi-Out) 802.11 G router. So far so good, under heavy file transfer the router didn't exhibit a tendency to reboot. I bought this router to replace my older...

Date of Review:  Apr 15, 2008
The Bottom Line: for those who want a strong signal throughout the house and easy to encrypt your network.
Review: Excellent device that was easy to setup with my Charter Pipeline connection. Was replacing a D-Link Router I previously was using since it died on me. AT the time I had a basic wireless G router and when I replaced it I felt it was time for me to...

Different Perspective

Date of Review:  Dec 30, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you can put up with the hassle, Buy it.
Review: I got this from hhgregg. They matched the price that Circuit City had on their website.

The instructions said 20 minutes to setup. The truth is that I spent an hour on the phone with my DSL Tech Support to insure that my modem & PC were...

Save your money

Date of Review:  Jan 14, 2008
Review: Purchased this router to add a wireless laptop to the Internet. Taking the stuff out of the box, the instructions were difficult to follow even for someone like me who has some computer background. Many people better call the "geek squad" to set it...

Dependable and Easy to Setup

Date of Review:  Jan 15, 2008
The Bottom Line: Set it up and forget about it
Review: We have had this router running pretty much non stop since early December 2006. We have three desktop PCs connected to its LAN ports and anywhere from 1 to 3 laptops running off of it depending on how many of our semi adult kids are home. It was a...

Strong signal, easy set up

Date of Review:  Dec 30, 2007
The Bottom Line: Absolutely recommend to everyone, especially newer users who will appreciate the easy set up
Review: I bought the NetGear RangeMax for my boyfriend for use in his two story townhome. The router itself lives on the second floor and we wanted to have our Wii and a second computer downstairs connected to the Internet wirelessly.
