.....if so what do you think of them?

Thinking of getting one, looks to have good specs etc and I like the design.

Would anyone recommend it?

Bought one after reading good reviews. The hardware was solid and look the part and appeared to work.
The software sucked.
I am not to bad on the computer and spent about a week of any spare time I had trying to connect including numerous e-mails to netgear support.
Eventually took it back and got my ?99.00 back.
Looking to get bt router or home hub....not sure yet but I am told these are easy to set up from a web site rather than using software.

pcworld will take it back and either give him a full refund or let him pick another wireless setup, all the hardware that they sell in the shops is guarenteed for 1 year. I got an email from them confirming this and have brought a few things back that I have had for over 6 months.

I have always used netgear routers and i think they are ok.
my latest one is a mimo.
I did have some problems with it loosing connection but after a firmware upgrade, everything seems ok
