Backup data line with two DSL [Posted on 2008-06-19] Allows load balancing over two DSL's and using for Redundant data. In our location we can only get 768k up. Combining two gets us enough bandwidth to be usable. We don't get the full 1.5 up... but helps prevent a bandwidth hog from killing email delivery.
Nice router [Posted on 2008-07-19] I replaced a Cisco 802 with this bugger, performance seriously abused the Cisco. The install/setup was quick and easy and having the fail-over/load balancing option is nice.
These things are bulletproof [Posted on 2008-08-07] We have several of these and several of the $65 netgear firewalls, but those cheaper firewalls keep locking up. These are pricey, but they seem to take anything.
Nice product but retail price is not $397 -- its $299 (according to Netgear) [Posted on 2008-08-17] I've got several Netgear products all of which have been high quality and generally true to their specs / marketing.
One note I wanted to share as I considered this was the list price is not $397 but $299 ...
The ultimate mini-router [Posted on 2008-09-11] This little box is awesome. This is for anyone who has multiple internet connections, multiple static IP addresses, multiple home servers, or any other problem that a "home router" can't handle. Gigabit ports and the custom NAT rules allow a home server, a desktop computer, and a NAS can talk to each other at raw Gigabit speed.
The best feature isn't obvious until you're half way through the initial configuration - it's actually easy to set up. The web GUI is clear, full of help, responsive, and it tells you about potential conflicts. The owner's guide is all about how to create your network. It doesn't waste your time with Windows screenshots. Ping, traceroute, DNS, and packet sniffing tools are built-in for troubleshooting mistakes without yanking wires.
A test of NAT showed about 52Mbps, which isn't too bad for a small box. The only bug I've seen so far is that routing might not work immediately after setting up a custom NAT rule.
