Keep your Wi-Fi connection strong anywhere in the house with this NETGEAR router. Monitor your network with the NETGEAR genie app, keep track of your kids with parental controls, and use multiple devices simultaneously for downloading, gaming and more

I use it in...:Apartment
This is the easiest wireless router to set up. I have been using my 10 years old Netgear 11bp b router and have tried several different routers for upgrade. They include Netgear N600, Cisco products and their set up were messy. Now I found this gem and seems working perfectly. Here is the set up which took me less than 10 mins (in which 5 mins were the wait time only).
My system: Window 7
Internet provider: Time Warner cable 10 mph
Internet provider: Time Warner cable 10 mph
1. Unplug cable modem, turn off computer.
2. Connect the yellow ethernet cable provided in the box from the yellow port of N300 router to the cable modem.
3. Power on the cable modem (internet modem from internet provider), wait till the green light turns solid. about 2 mins.
4. Power on the router N300, wait about 3 mins until power light (1st light) & internet light (2nd light) turn solid green. The WiFi light (the 3rd light) turns solid blue.
5. Turn on computer. No need to connect PC to the router by ethernet cable. Just do it wirelessly, click on the "Internet Access" and find the SSID provided with the router. Enter the provided password.
6. Browser will pop up and take you to http://netgear.login.net. Follow and agree the screen. it will automatically configure its set up. take 1 mins.
7. "Welcome" screen comes up indicates successfully set up.
8. Click the right button on screen to take you to internet.
9. Done !!!

Throughout the whole process, there is absolutely NO CD needed to installed. This is the most straight forward set up I have encountered with, no confusion with the static IP address or anything. The best is it's also Cheap. Great value !!
What's great about it: set up, value
What's not so great: design
I would recommend this to a friend!
