Overview
Not a modern dual band router, this NETGEAR unit shares an internet connection over basic Wireless-N on the crowded lower band, plus four wired ports. Setup needs no CD, and the Genie dashboard handles monitoring and repairs.
Simple sharing for light use is its job: browsing, email and chat across a few devices, with a guest network and parental controls on top. Fast Ethernet ports and older wireless speeds cap throughput well below today's broadband tiers.
Who it's for
Light users who browse, email and video chat on a slow connection get a simple router with parental controls. Gamers, streamers and anyone paying for a fast plan will hit the speed ceiling.
Pros and cons
- Guest network for visitors
- Live Parental Controls
- Repeater mode extends another network
- Wi-Fi and power on/off buttons
- Wired ports limited to Fast Ethernet
- Single band, crowded frequency
- Warranty terms conflict in the listing
- Wireless-N is an older standard
Performance notes
Throughput is bounded by the Wireless-N radio on the lower band, where neighboring networks and household devices compete for the same channels. Wired devices share Fast Ethernet ports, which cap local transfers. Range depends on placement, with repeater mode as an option for a second unit.
