Netgear WG602 54 Mbps Wireless Access Point

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) ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

I had this router for well over two years and in that time it worked brilliantly. It is easy to set up, you just plug it in then use your web browser to go to the control panel, not installation or software is needed. You can manage the many settings inside the control panel. You can change all the huge amount of features such as security, encryption, two firewalls and many more features. You can easily use this router for home servers using port forwarding and it is really easily to accomplish simple tasks using the managment interface. It is easy to upgrade to the newest firmware, which is advisable. Since the newest versions ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

The packaging for this 54g wireless router boasts that it's a doddle to set up, and they're not wrong. The instructions are excellent. From opening the box to using my new wireless network (including setting up my laptop with a Netgear WG511 54g PCMCIA card) took about 15 minutes and was right first time. Even the instructions for protecting the wireless network with high-level WEP encryption were logical and clear. In use the WG602 has been perfect, and looks smart too. It's much smaller than I thought it would be. It doesn't generate much heat and there are no cooling fans, so it's silent. The aerial is easily positioned in any direction ...  Read the complete review
