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.

Great Company with a Big Bang for your Buck product
By RSV
I own a computer that utilizes Windows Vista (64 bit) and was not having success installing wireless adapters from two reputable companies. At this point I was ready to cut open walls and run the ethernet cable to my computer. I mentioned the problem to my computer geek cousin and he told me to purchase a medialink wireless adapter as it supports Windows Vista 32 and 64. So I googled the wireless adapter and found that Amazon carried it. So I went to Amazon.com and there it was in the medialink adapter's product information, compatible with Vista 32 and 64. At $29.99 ( $10.00 cheaper then the previous two adapters), I thought it was worth the risk. I recieved it two days later and proceeded to install the medialink wireless G USB adapter and again no success. At this point I'm ready to punch a hole in the wall out of frustration. I finally decided to contact Mediabridge to convey my dissatisfaction. The phone was picked up after one ring and a customer service person rerouted me to technical support. Technical support picked up after one ring and I'm thinking to myself, this is amazing, no machine telling me to push buttons. After running several test on my computer with technical support, I still was not wireless. The tech support person, who was professional and knowledgable, recommended trying their wireless-N USB adapter. He said Mediabridge will ship it out right away at no cost. I received the wireless-N adapter the following day (again,amazing). I install it and within five minutes I was wireless. The installation was a snap. I'm on the internet several hours a day and I haven't had any problems at all. I forget sometimes that I'm wireless. At the price Mediabridge is charging for their wireless adapters, this is a steal. Kudos to Mediabridge for backing their products and lowering my blood pressure. I recommend this product to anyone who wants a quality wireless adapter at a great price.

Does its job just fine.
By Harl Van Deursen
This adapter works like a charm once it's installed, both on Windows 7 and on Windows XP. (I haven't tried it with any other operating systems.) I have used three of these on four different computers, and it has worked well in every case.

The rest of this review deals with only one quirk: if you like to control your own destiny and you use Windows XP, you may want to use Windows Wireless Zero (the built-in wireless management in Windows XP) rather than the provided wireless management client, but the driver and software will not allow you to do so if you do not have that service running when the driver is installed. It doesn't matter if you want to use the provided wireless manager, but I was disappointed with the fact that the client software (on Windows XP, at least) AUTOMATICALLY connects to an available unencrypted network immediately after installation, which is dangerous, since that network may not be yours and may not be safe. Worse yet, it does not allow you to specifically disable said wireless network.

In order to have full control over the networks you connect to (again, in Windows XP at least), you should check that the Wireless Zero Configuration service is running BEFORE you install the software. If you install without the Wireless Zero Configuration service running, you'll have to completely uninstall, enable the service, then reinstall in order to be able to use Wireless Zero.

If you have no idea what I'm taking about but you want some rough guidance, try this on for size: Go to your Windows control panel, open Administrative Tools, open Services, and scroll down to Wireless Zero Configuration. If the status is Started and the startup type is Automatic, you're all set. If not, double-click the icon, change the startup type to Automatic, and click the Start button, then click OK to save your changes. THEN you can install the driver, after which you will be able to use the built-in Windows wireless management to specify which networks you do or do not want to connect to.

Compatible with WD TV Live
By Alan Novitskiy
I purchased this adapter with high hopes that it would somehow magically work with my Western Digital WD TV Live, despite my knowing that it was an unrealistic expectation since the dongle comes with it's own drivers. At best, I was expecting to have to run some home-brewed firmware on the WD TV in order to get this to work.
Lo and behold, I plugged it in and it was recognized within seconds. In under a minute, the box was connected to my network and I was streaming YouTube video to my upstairs bedroom. I was absolutely amazed.

This dongle is not yet listed on WD TV Live's supported device list, and I've found no previous posts or reviews confirming this compatibility. Hope this helps those looking at this for the same reason that I was.
