I have recently obtained security analysis software to test my connection for any vulnerabilities and am pleased to say that the results came back that my connection was stealthed and there were no open ports. The router has its own built in firewall anyway and I don't use any software firewalls.

Netgear WG602: Excellent security features available (294 words)

Netgear itself has a very good name for providers in computer networks and security products. A friend of mine who is highly qualified in I.T. has been using Netgear routers for a very long time even the wired ones before wireless came out. The user interface is easy to navigate and configure settings. I'm a more advanced computer user and can configure all these settings myself but a more novice user may need a little help with it to get it secure as possible. The security settings on this router are very good and more than adequate for a home user. Basically I have been able to apply the following settings: a) WEP encryption of channels b) ...

What can I say - they kicked me out of the office. So, having the pleasure of being a "tele-worker" I thought I can get some new toys - and charge the company for them....cool! With my kids around the place, I wanted to be free to work around the house (wherever they aren't!!) so I thought wireless LAN (as you do). Eyes sparkling with the prospect of new toys I surfed around and found a good deal from BroadBandBuyer.com - £111 for a Wireless Access Point (WAP) plus laptop card delivered. Read some reviews on-line (from the US) and things seemed positive....and did I mention it was relatively cheap?? That's probably why I relate to it so ...

The Netgear WG602 wireless-lan modem is a must have for all those who regularly have two computers or laptops online. Easy to set-up, and easy to use, it works through walls, through floors, and even from as far away as 25 metres. When I got this modem, I was surprised at its capability, it allowed as many as 20 laptops on at once, and the connection was actually at a normal speed, despite all laptops being online at once, and the connection being 56k. I had no problems with the apparatus, but the only problem was that as my second laptop did not have integrated WLAN, I had to spend a bit more money to get a WLAN card. The good thing was though, that the WLAN cards ...
