Netgear WNDR4300-100NAS N750 Dual Band 4 Port Wi-Fi Gigabit Router (WNDR4300)

This is a great router. It replaced an older Netgear router that was in the process of dying, and the change was amazing. If you're on the fence, go ahead and get it. This router is EASY to set up. I ran through the guide quickly enough, changed the SSIS and access paskeys, and was off and running. the signal is strong and reliable, and covers the house quite well, and the signal extends outside onto the deck and yard nicely enough. The router comes with a family protection feature that allows you to set up an account that will check and filter every request going through the router, both on WiFi and through the ethernet. Nothing is fool proof, but it provides a great layer of protection for our family. We have a "Micro-Cell" signal booster from AT&T. We connected it to a port on the router's ethernet, and it receives a strong, reliable connection to the internet. I've connected an external hard drive to a USB port, which makes the drive available on our network, which is handy when we're at home. Its great having a shared drive for pictures, songs, documents and other files we like to share. I haven't used the "cloud" feature, but I'm planning on getting a bigger drive and hooking that up as well. I doubt it will be too difficult, but I can't speak to that yet. In addition to the MicroCell, I typically have 2 computers wired on the Ethernet, 1-3 laptops (including work laptops connecting through VPN - without difficuty), 2 kindle fire's, a windows tablet, a windows phone and an android tablet and phone. Everything can be connected at once, and it works just fine. We've had study groups over, and they connect their phones, tablets, and computers to the Wi-Fi as well. I'm not sure how many concurrent connections it handles, but we haven't capped out yet, so it seems it is more than 10 or 12. I have a 'normal' sized 3-bedroom split-entry house, and this router adequately covers the house, although I did get a signal booster to increase the speed in the back bedroom. The bedroom, however, is on a different floor, and the signal travels through not only the floor, but the stairs and a couple of walls. It makes it, but with the signal booster at the top of the steps, there's improved bandwidth in that back corner. I'm sure if I centered the router better in the house, I wouldn't need it, but the way its laid out, putting it in the middle would be awkward, so its off to one side. I'm VERY glad I picked up this router, and I heartily recommend it.

I have a 2,000 sqft house and a UVERSE 3700 modem with built in G WiFi that had a very weak signal when not in the same room as the modem. I decided to upgrade my WiFi with this N, Dual Band router and so far it has been consistent and powerful. I get plenty of coverage in the far reaches of my home (went from fluctuating from 1-3 bars constantly to a STEADY FULL BARS in the far rooms with an occasional 3. It never drops to less than 3 which is exactly what I wanted in a new, powerful router!). SETUP: Setup was a breeze. Plugged it in, changed the WiFi name and network in the router settings via my laptop, and picked a channel that had the fewest interference in my area (this was optional, but I've been told it can help with your WiFi signal and it was easy to do in the settings menu). Worked perfectly. TECH SUPPORT REVIEW: I did try to be more advanced with the router than I should have.... and it caused me a headache and some troubles. I read online that adding a WiFi router to my existing modem wasn't easy and needed some more intensive, advanced setting changes. After bricking my router (blinking lights, no WiFi, and the factory reset option I Googled didn't seem to work) trying to change these settings, I was forced to call Netgear tech support. After about 5 minutes at home at 11:30 at night, I was connected to a tech that, while he had a strong accent, we were able to clearly communicate and he was very knowledgeable. He walked me through how to do a proper factory reset (I don't know why this wasn't in the online manual or in any of the included printouts) and presto, we were up and running perfectly after about a 20 minute call. Not bad. SUMMARY: Ease of setup, my experience with tech support was positive. Strong range and speed to the extremes of my house (your hours and results may vary, of course). Hopefully, like all products, it serves me well for a few years and i won't have to reboot or reset often..

The speed is NOT the 750Mbps stated, as when you max out both the 5GHz and 2.4GHz they are crossing channels, thus reducing it by 150Mbps. The router clearly states this when configured, and pops up the information so you are aware. you can effectively get 600Mbps. Easy set up for a generic user, but a little skill is still needed to understand what you are looking at if you plan to change the default settings. Works right out of the package for most home users, and the Genie will walk you through the rest. Even included a shielded color coded cable for the main data line. For those of us who have an advanced setup: Does not report to Sophos UTM, but the traffic is easily visible when manually configured in sophos. The netgear refused to accept the correct static IP's for my network and kept resetting DHCP range to 172.x.x.x/20 (not sure why it picked a class B network but it did) and the WAN to a 10.0.0.1 despite being set without DHCP or a NAT. This was resolved by looking in the advanced setup after being VERY annoyed and getting a headache, and finding the "Configure as an AP" setting, which released the genie from the settings and allowed manual configuration. Using this shuts off all router processes and it acts as a pure AP with a switch built in, perfect for my uses but may be a problem in your environment. I recommend you look at advanced functions FIRST instead of just configuring it how you want, or the genie will reset your work to the router defaults. On a side note, it does not always inform you that it reset your settings, but you find out when nothing works. I have had this for about 4 months, and have yet to see any major problems with the WiFi other than the occasional glitch that requires a reboot (only a few times, and most often during network configuration). I am observing the device carefully and will IMMEDIATELY contact netgear for a replacement if the WiFi stops bradcasting at either 2.4 or 5GHz.

I am reviewing NETGEAR N750 Dual Band 4 Port Wi-Fi Gigabit Router (WNDR4300) First of all I would like to point out I purchased this from the Amazon Warehouse Deals. I am sure it was a used item and will review it as used, not as a brand-new item. Packaging 5/5: the product box had a hole in it but did not damage the product. It was sufficiently taped shut and appeared to be the original box. There was an Amazon Warehouse Inspected sticker on the top of the box which did give me some comfort knowing they knew the contents of the box and were willing to put the "Amazon" name on it. Once inside, there was a cardboard form that appeared to be original. There were four pieces included: the router, a stand, a cable and the plug-in cord. Product exterior 4/5: as a used unit it did have some scratches on it and a light amount of dust, which easily washed away. Nothing was broken and the important pieces were there and in tact. The cables fit snuggly in the ports. Instructions 5/5: There were no printed instructions included in the box but the outside had some good information. Putting the stand on the unit was pretty intuitive and tooke me less than 30 seconds to figure out. I got it hooked up to my computer very quickly by swapping out my current router and just plugging the cables into the appropriate ports. When nothing popped up on my computer to set up the router but just auto-connected to the internet, I was a little flummoxed on how to get the wi-fi password for my wireless devices. Also, I wasn't exactly sure what the name of the router was in my list of devices. I found a website on the bottom of the router and went there. I found the router name and wifi password on the website (and was able to update/change as needed). So all-in-all I was set up in about 5 minutes. Super simple! Overall impression: I NEEDED a new router. I couldn't go 3 minutes on my devices without needing to reconnect to my decades old router and sometimes the range wouldn't even reach to my basement or my bedroom. I have a small ranch-style house. I picked this one because it seemed middle of the road - I only needed to connect a few devices and a pc. We don't game or anything but wanted something reliable and able to stream a few movies with and you know... actually read through our Facebook feed without interruption. I liked the warehouse price point for this router - it was within my budget and I felt I was getting a better unit used than what I could get for the same price off a retail shelf. I was right. I haven't had to reconnect to the router once and I've only had it hooked up overnight. I am SOOO happy for that! My phone had full range in both my bedroom and the basement! It reached far. I am happy with how simple it was to hook up and how well it is working with all of our devices. Now my kids can watch youtube videos and I can stream some AmazonPrime videos at the same time and we're not fighting each other for a connection!! YAY! I am very happy with this purchase!

I purchased this router in September 2013 based on the reviews. Of course there are always bad reviews, but you have to compare those to the amount of good reviews. It ran amazing once installed, great speeds, decent range, and no dropouts - UNTIL FEBRUARY 2014. I woke up that morning to no wireless access. All of the lights indicating wireless service were on but no wi-fi. I checked the internet signal from the cable modem and it was fine. I reset the router, and everything was fine. HOWEVER, the next week, the same thing happened, I lost the wireless. A week later, I lost the wired signal - that was the last straw. I filed a complaint with Netgear, and had to go back and forth in emails about eight (8) times over 2 weeks before they shipped me a new router, but on top of that made me pay for shipping! I hooked up the new router (same model), and two weeks into use of that one, it also dropped its internet connection!!! Are you kidding me????? Reset it and it worked again. I called Netgear and was upgraded to level 2 tech support. They uploaded new firmware, hoping that was going to correct the problem. Well, here I am again, waking up this morning to no wireless internet. I reset the router and everything worked fine. WHY DO I HAVE TO RESET THE ROUTER ONCE A WEEK TO KEEP INTERNET SERVICE? My previous router was a Netgear N300 which lasted 3 years - I only replaced it to get more speed as my needs changed, so I know its not my internet provider that is giving me a problem. And I use Optimum as my ISP and have a 101 Mbps account, so speed is not an issue either. At this point, the $91.00 I spent on this router is not worth all of the emails I have had to send back and forth to Netgear, and the hours I have to spend at home to troubleshoot this on-line with the technician. As of 4/6/14 I am waiting for a call back from level 2 support to see what they are going to do now. I have asked multiple times for replacement to a different model and they won't do it. So I am here on Amazon to inform everyone DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS MODELl. And Netgear, when you read this, you can look up my current case, its case # 22968411. I have asked multiple times to have this router replaced with a comparable model, but they keep trying to replace/fix it, but it is still frequently dropping the connection. I will be shopping for other manufacturer's models after this and won't be shopping with Netgear ever again.

The router fixed my WIFI problems getting movies from Amazon to my TV. The amazon movie people said the problem was a software problem with my new Flat screen. The router start up procedure went well and router worked fine 3 weeks. the 2.4Ghz output died and so did my WIFI Canon printer. I tried the Netgear chat line and they got the 2.4Ghz working by swapping out transmitters (according to the chat line) but were not able to get my Canon printer to work. I contacted Canon and they sent me to a service that failed to get the printer to work. I then was told that they had a premium service that could help me. I went to them and they found the operating system printer software (not the drivers) had been corrupted by the Netgear chat line instructions that I had followed. After fixing that all worked for a while but then the system started to stop for no reason. I would have to reboot. This seemed to be caused by my Galaxy S4 with WIFI turned on. The S4 would go dark and the computer would stop. Also my RF mouse was acting funny. The final fix was to lower my computer CPU speed a tiny bit and all was well. I believe that the robust output of the Netgear router was swamping the USB receivers on the system and that the system was running at top speed. The Router has changed the download time for a movie 8 to 10 minutes and maybe not at all to a fast 30 second download with no problems. It is very easy to control guest wifi with the Genie program. The one push security button worked with my TV so I did not have to push the remote keys you know 1=a 1=b 1=c which is a pain. The 5Ghz output remained stable at the other end of my house at all time that I checked ( with the S4 you can get a RF sensing ap that show a graphic picture of the RF signal from the router). My over all opinion is the Hardware and software are the best I have seen so far but the Tech support is all about messages and chat lines, No people to talk to. That makes for an awkward conversation like "how do you know the signal is not at the TV your TV may be broken" When you try to explain that you have an RF signal meter in your cell phone. The router also allows me to print from my cell phone. The 3 cable hook up makes it easy to connect. All in all if the 2.4 continues to work I will be very happy with the Netgear router.

I bought this wireless router for our family as a much needed improvement to our old wired D-Link EBR-2310 router. We were experiencing drop-offs while browsing the Internet both at high-traffic and low-traffic times. After doing some research, we realized it was the router that was causing all of the issues. Our current network structure consists of a majority of Powerline networking throughout our household, with one cable modem receiving the Internet connection. In order to upgrade, we wanted to stay away from wireless routers, but wired routers are, for the most part, extinct now. When choosing a replacement, I came across this router. The feature that caught our attention the most was the Wi-Fi On/Off Button. Since we did not want to use wireless transmission in the house, this was a perfect wired solution. The installation of the router was quick and easy, and I did not experience one problem in setting everything up. We have one computer that is physically connected to the router (with the rest on the Powerline network), and the changes were instantly noticeable. Before, we would have to wait for pages to load, refreshing multiple times. Now browsing was much more fluent and a lot faster. The router also has an advanced QoS system, which was evident in streaming videos. We could stream 1080px videos on YouTube without having to wait for buffering every 5 seconds. In terms of the Powerline network, improvements were also noticed. While the download/upload speeds did not necessarily change, there was no hesitation in browsing. Netgear has an application called Netgear Genie, which allows for network management in a simple interface. The dashboard is clean and crisp and makes adjusting settings simple. You can even monitor traffic, set parental controls, and see a network map to identify if any unknown devices are using your network. While my family and I have only been using the router for a couple of days now, we are extremely pleased with the performance of this router. Note: The Internet download speeds that we receive from our provider are around 15 Mbps.

I bought this to replace a really old D-Link 4300 wireless router that I was using as a Wireless Access Point (WAP) for our Apple iStuff as well as for an ancient Brother laser printer connected via USB to a Linksys PSUS4 print server. The 4300 gave up the ghost, so I needed a new WAP solution. The fact that the Netgear N750 device claims to have built in USB printer server capability was a feature that made me commit to buying it. Unfortunately, I could not setup the USB printer port with either Windows 7 x64 or OS X 10.7.5 x64. The Netgear OS X supplied print server software bluescreened my MAC and the windows version of the same required printer utility software would not even install on Windows 7. I ended up connecting the PSUS4 print server back on my network and can print fine from any computer over the network. This is pretty disappointing and I have little faith that the USB port on the N750 could be trusted for external storage either. I will give a big plus to the WAP setup for this device. The user interface has the option to setup as an AP only which turns off the DHCP serving function. To be on the safe side I set the N750 to an IP address outside my DSL/modem router's DHCP IP assignment range. The radios on both 2.4 and 5.0 Ghz are working well. I spoke too soon about the advanced WAP setup. Overnight this device's wireless capability disappeared. I had to reset to factory defaults and this time I just disabled DHCP and set the device to a static IP consistent with my DSL/Router. When the N750 came alive the wireless functionality worked fine with my iPad, iPhone and Kindles. I also have a DirecTV DVR, my MAC Pro, and a print server connected with ethernet cable. They all work fine. It remains to be seen about this thing.

Es muy sencillo de configurar, las bandas duales funcionan muy bien, el rango de mi wifi mejoro notablemente. Lo malo es que no lei bien y pensé que manejaba el Qos independiente para cada dispositivo limitando el ancho de banda. En general muy buen equipo.

Lo llevo utilizando algo más de un año y nunca ha dado ningún problema, es rápido, estable, ligero, y de bajo consumo. Lo tengo conectado en el salón de casa a un extensor de conexión por cable a través de la corriente (TP LINK ASIN: B00ADW9R22) desde el router principal Telecable que está en otra habitación. Con la peana vertical, detrás de la TV no ocupa casi espacio. Proporciona dos nuevos puntos Wi-Fi (2,4 Ghz y 5 Ghz) para conectar smartphones, tablets, portátil... y 4 puertos Gigabit 10/100/1000 donde tengo conectados el deco de Telecable, la Xbox One y una Samsung Smart TV. Todo lo que necesitaba en mi pequeña red doméstica. Fantástico.

My previous router Netgear JNR1010 had served me well for 3 years. It is a very basic and cheap router. It worked very well. As the wireless connections increased to more than 3 devices, internet disconnection became the norm! For months, I would reset the router every 15 - 20 minutes to restore the internet without knowing what the real issue was. I thought it was an ISP problem. Finally I figured out that this basic router couldn't handle those multiple connections. So I've decided to buy one that could handle all those connections. I zeroed in to this router after reading some tech reviews that gave positive feedback on this router. Setting up the router is very simple. Once you connect any device (wireless), the device will open the Netgear page or you can manually type routerlogin.net in the browser to access that page. Then you have to simply choose the setup options it displays. The default password will be at the router's bottom. You can change that password within the options. Once everything is done, the WIFI is set. This entire process takes only a few minutes. This router is really good! I live in a first floor flat that is about 1250 Square Feet. This router's range is more than enough to cover the entire flat. I was also able to access the router 30 - 35 meters away from the flat. For a home user, it's range is quite powerful. Multiple connectivity is awesome. This is a dual band router that enables the usage of 5 GHz band for watching videos, which will ensure trouble free streaming. The other 2.4 GHz band can be used for general browsing. This router also has an USB port through which an external HDD or a Pen Drive can be connected and then accessed via WIFI. It's a nice feature and gives you the option to access additional storage. This router is wall mountable! It can also be set up horizontally or vertically on the surface. This router doesn't support BEAM FORMING technology. Unless you work at home or you do some seriously important stuff, you will not need this new technology. This technology costs a few thousands more than the old technology. All that extra money can be saved with this router. Besides BEAM FORMING technology can cause much more exposure to high RF as it concentrates the signals onto the connected device. As I said before, go for this technology only if you really need it. In a sentence, this is the best router in the market sans BEAM FORMING technology! NOTE: There will be some differences if the unit is an import.

Nice reliable router, good range, like the user interface and options

This product could not have been any better.
