Amazon.com Product Description
The NETGEAR WNR854T RangeMax Next Wireless-N Router Gigabit Edition offers:
  • Wireless-N protocol for up to 300 Mbps throughput.
  • Four Gigabit RJ-45 Ethernet ports for fast wired connections.
  • WiFi Multimedia technology for optimized audio, video, and voice applications.
The NETGEAR WNR854T RangeMax Next Wireless-N Router Gigabit Edition lets you easily set up a wireless network in your home so you can share a single internet connection with everyone in your household at speeds up to 300 Mbps. You can stream music and video, make internet phone calls, videoconference, and surf the web, all at the same time.



The WNR854T has a Gigabit Ethernet backbone for maximum speeds. View larger. View back.
Easy Setup
The WNR854T makes it easy for even a novice to set up a wireless network: just plug the included Ethernet cable from your LAN into the device and insert the included CD into any computer on the network, which will provide step-by-step instructions. The WNR854T includes a stand for vertical placement.

The WNR854T employs a web-based interface for configuration for compatibility with any computer with a web browser. The firmware is also upgradeable via the web interface so you can be sure your router will always be up-to-date.

New Technology Means Blazing Speeds and Backwards Compatibility
The WNR854T complies with the latest 802.11n draft specification which allows for speeds up to 300 Mbps; this maximum speed can be achieved when used with other TopDog devices. By utilizing MIMO (multiple-input, multiple-output) technology, the WNR854T has speed and range far surpassing the older 802.11g standard. The preset internal antennas ensure that the device is always tuned for optimal performance, and NETGEAR's Wi-Fi Multimedia technology optimizes audio, video, and voice applications.

If you still have computers that use 802.11g or 802.11b, don't fret as the router is backwards compatible with the older wireless standards and can be set so all your computers can connect to the network. The WNR854T will automatically figure out the connection type and work accordingly.

By using Gigabit Ethernet for the backend, you'll be certain that the router is receiving data at the highest possible speeds. The router also has four Gigabit RJ-45 Ethernet ports in the back for connecting computers to the network via a wired connection that will give the fastest performance.

Security Made Easy
The WNR854T offers many security options to ensure your data is private. Double firewall protection keeps your network shielded from outside attacks. It also prevents Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.

NETGEAR's Touchless WiFi Security makes it quick and easy to set up network security on a WiFi network by asking for a passphrase from the user. The WNR854T supports WiFi Protected Access (WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK), and 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption for 802.11b/g networks. Additionally, you can set security through MAC address authentication, allowing only authorized users onto the network.

The NETGEAR WNR854T RangeMax Next Wireless-N Router Gigabit Edition is backed by a 1-year warranty.

This really is a terrible machine. It constantly drops my connection. Unbelievably bad. Do not buy no matter what price.

Three Netgear RangeMax routers and all three died. The WNR854T lasted the longest, 6 months. Avoid these dogs.

A year and a half ago, I bought a WNR854T, and I was quite happy with configuration and performance of the router.

A year and two weeks ago, the router died -- power light green, nothing else lit up, as usual -- and since I needed a router, I thought "stuff happens" and bought another one while the first unit was going through an in-warranty replacement

So far, so good.

That replacement router, bought on July 17th, 2007, died today -- exactly one week after its warranty expired. I called Netgear for an RMA and was told that they could do nothing, the unit was out of warranty. Yes, yes, I replied, I am not asking for freebies -- I am more than willing to pay any reasonable fee for a repair. No, sir, we can do nothing, not even repair it. At that point, I thought the guy manning the phone was kidding me.

To make a long story short: Netgear knows the router is a piece of junk. They refuse to do post-warranty service because they would drown in dead routers. So they tell their suckers -- I among them -- to just throw the defective, out-of-warranty, units away.

And that is precisely what I am doing. Linksys, here I come!

Felix.

Yep, mine died a few months ago with the same issues as everyone else. Instead of wasting my time on the phone with Netgear I'm just chalking up to lesson-learned.

I'll probably buy whatever wifi is available at Costco because of their fabulous return policy if anything happens.

I bought my first one a while ago and it died within the warrany period. I worked with Netgear support and they sent me a new one. Today I woke up and the second one has died. The green power light comes on but nothing else.

I will never buy another Netgear router.


Gotta go. Today is trash day and I want to make sure my $150 WNR854T gets into the trash today...
