Great Product for a Great Price
By Duane
1st off, the refurbished product doesnt come with the Smart Wizard disc, you dont need it, its all pre-loaded into the router.

Connect your PC to the router (hard wire) and type [...] on a browser, login ID is admin, password is password, from there you can configure the whole router to your hearts content.

when you first log in, it will check for any updates to the firmware, DO NOT UPGRADE TO 1.0.0.50, stay with 1.0.0.38 that's currently loaded on there, its far more stable and reliable, you can uncheck the "check for new version" box so this doesnt bother you again.

i made the mistake of upgrading to 1.0.0.50, my 5ghz band was incredibly unstable and died every 2-3 hours, also lost the ability to turn off the bright blue LED lit dome with the new firmware.

if you fell into this hole like i did. go to[...] and download the 1.0.0.38 firmware. it will ask you for the router serial number (of which the refurbished routers dont have one), to the right of the red download button is a link that says "continue without registering" click this and it will allow you to download the 1.0.0.38 firmware. go to your router admin screen (using the access method i mentioned above)\Maintenance\Router Upgrade, use this window to downgrade back to 1.0.0.38

Wireless N 600 speed is awesome, very noticable upgrade from my AT&T Wireless G router imbedded in my home gateway. the router is increadibly stable, no issues day-over-day, it just works, just what you would expect from a NetGear.

Why pay full price?
By Luis
I just set up this router and am extremely happy about it. It is aesthetically pleasing as well as functional. NOTE: My ONLY complaint (and this is in part my fault) is that this router DOES NOT support the ReadyShare Cloud. When I was looking into ReadyShare on Netgear's website I misread that there is indeed a difference between ReadyShare and ReadyShare Cloud. ReadyShare allows you to connect an external hard drive to your wireless router and you can access that hard drive wirelessly while connected to the router its attached to...this is different than ReadyShare Cloud in which you can access the hard drive connected to the router ANYWHERE ON THE PLANET. Only the Netgear 3800 is compatible with the ReadyShareCloud feature. Now this doesn't detract from this product, it just wasn't very clear that the 3400 DOES NOT have the ReadyShareCloud feature.

Overall however, I really liked this product and at the refurbished price, it can't be beat.

Very Easy Setup
By Dorothy Mantooth
I purchased this router basically for two reasons:

1. I need more bandwidth for all of my devices

2. It was a cost effective solution for the amount of bandwidth.

After struggling with an older Netgear N300 (which was not horrible, just limiting)...I decided to fork out the dough for a "new" router. I had seen this N600 at best buy (where it was $80+ I think) and asked the sales person about it. They mentioned that they had it for a while and it did the job while supporting 2 laptops, an Xbox, a PS3, iPhone, and tablet. I was just about sold on it because I need support for 2 smartphones, 1 laptop, a PS3, a Wii, and a tablet. I decided to check the price on Amazon just in case and Wah Lah! I am not sure why there are so many "refurbished" N600's available, but after one month in: no restarts, no bandwidth glitches or delays while the kids are streaming Netflix to the PS3, and no dropouts when in the upstairs area of my home.

Setup was very easy. While I was scratching my head at trying to setup the router from my iPad, as soon as I turned on the laptop (with Windows 7), the new router was immediately recognized. I was asked for a new security password and router ID and I was up-and-running. No software to install, no setup "wizard" that asked me the color of my underwear, no fuss. It just worked.
