Netgear RangeMax NEXT WNR854T Wireless Router - WNR854T-100NAS - NEW!
NETGEAR WNR854T - RangeMax NEXT Wireless Router - Gigabit Edition

I don't know what else to say that hasn't already been made quite clear here. My shiny special new wireless-N router from Netgear worked wonderfully for a little more than 12 months. I began have slight problems with it. I was just about fed up, and ready to look into my service/repair options for the unit, when one day, it refused to start up again. It died. Plain and simple. Mine lasted 2 or 3 months past the 1 year warranty, which I do suppose is longer than you guys had it going for. I am shocked to discover how terrible this device is, statistically speaking. There's no doubt in my mind that if you buy this router now (which still costs more than $100? LMFAO!) you will experience the same un-timely death of an expensive computer hardware router like we all have. Netgear has lost myself as a customer for life, period. What can I say? I'll pay 10% more for a similar network product of any other brand, from now on. Shoot - make it 20% more. Netgear is dead to me. Just like my Wireless-N router

I had this router for just over a year and it worked great out of the box but died a couple weeks beyond the warranty period. I contacted Netgear and their response was "too bad for you". It was the same "green ring of death" that everyone else experiences. I got up one morning and was working on a wireless computer and suddenly lost the connection and there was no reviving it. The price I paid was high enough that I would have expected it to last longer and perhaps a friendlier response from the manufacturer, neither of which happened. I had always thought Netgear made a quality product but not after this and I won't buy another Netgear anything.

DO NOT BUY THIS ROUTER YOU HAVE BEEN WARN. Beware of the green light of death from netgear. It started diconnecting then died the green light of death. Netgear said sorry no warrenty but would be happy to sell me a new one. this is a common problem. I have seen alot of reviews and there all the same died just after warrenty.

I'm a free-lance IT consultant, and during 2007, I installed 4 of these routers, and ALL of them have failed. So far, one has been replaced, and the replacement failed. The other three were simply trashed, even though they were under warranty, because Netgear's replacement procedures are so byzantine that it isn't worth my or my client's time. To get the one replacement, I had to waste more than two hours on three phone calls & multiple emails, communicating with tech support personel who didn't listen to what I was saying or carefully read what had written, who had me repeat troubleshooting steps, and who weren't willing to admit that this model is seriously flawed. When I tried to arrange a replacement for the replacement, they insisted on making me run through all the troubleshooting hoops, again. Ridiculous. Wanting to prevent a perfectly good product from being replaced is one thing, but willful, institutionalized obtuseness is another. Netgear has made a turkey, and judging by their indifference and/or stone-walling they know it. Don't take my word for it. Check out shopper.cnet.com. or www.amazon.com for other customer horror stories. Except for their excellent FS series Ethernet switches, I will never again own or recommend any Netgear product.
