This review is from : Netgear N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router (DGN2200)
Excellent! Highly recommended . After doing a lot of study about available options, I decided on the DGN2200 DSL modem. In short, this product is everything it promises to be.
I experienced no problems whatsoever from the moment I took the unit out of the box. Setup was easy and the product worked flawlessly from the start. The speed and coverage is impressive and it is a noticeable jump in performance compared to my previous router with 802.11g wireless. The 802.11n is a huge jump in performance and coverage and my wife "can't believe" how fast our DSL service is.
I did have to call Netgear once to ask how to set up a DSL modem with an ISP who didn't use PPPoe login and password; they were extremely helpful and the wait time on hold was less than 30 seconds. All in all, setup was a snap.
I also set up a USB network drive for backups and the ability to connect a shared drive on the network is a big plus.
If you're looking for a nice bump in performance, especially as it relates to wireless connections, this wireless modem is a great choice.

Router . Works well for my apartment. Set it up with my AT&T account. Only took me a few moments to set it up though.
Netgear N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router (DGN2200) Reviews
Challenging to set up wireless . First, the product is not well-described in the title. This is the DGN2200, an updated model to the DGN2000. I can only comment on its wireless g capability, as my wireless n card does apparently not support encryption.
Setting it up to a wired connection works pretty easily with the set up CD. You need to know your PPPoE login and password, which you should get from your internet service provider before beginning setup.
Wireless is another story. Computer would not detect the network. I had to resort to a long call with customer support to set it up manually. Even then we had to go to numerous tries with different encryption systems to get it to work. Apparently, with my current computer we need to use WEP encryption, which makes it a g network.
The thing is pretty warm, and the connection does not time out after idle (although such a choice to time out is decribed and shown, the actual choice is not available). It has an on-off button (unlike my old modem), and given the heat, I am going to turn it off at night-- hopefully that will make it last longer.

Netgear N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router (DGN2200) Opinions
I would recommend it. . I have AT&T and when I called them to verify my DSL Username and Password, all they have for my username was "asterisks" showing up on their computer?! The agent told me that because my account with them was 'too old'?! Anyway, password reset ensued. After I got the info I called Netgear [24/7] just to be sure he/she talks me through the process. It was pretty easy once I got the username/password info. Kudos to Netgear. The day after, I called again for assistance on setting up my USB drive attached to the modem/router.
The signal is pretty good. No complaints. It seems just a weebit slower than wired, but no biggie. I'm new to wifi, so every now and then I would look at the device to see whether all the lights on or not. One reason we got later on I plan to get a wifi tablet, so this definitely helps. I also tried my phone on wifi, it's much faster than my phone network provider. Anyway, so far, the device seems dependable. Like my title says, I definitely would recommend it. Nice packaging, too, but documentation is sparse. Also, I searched the all over the internet to see what those symbols are for in front of the modem/router, no avail. Now I know they're for ASDL, Internet, etc., but which is what, I still not quite sure.

took awhile with AT&T . Took 3 hours but wew i did it. Used setup disk and no internet. called netgear went through manually and no internet. called at&t checked line, it came back good reset password and no internet. I changed PPPoE to PPPoA and we have internet. make sure to open NAT if you have game systems like ps3 or 360 so you can play online. With at&t they kept saying PPPoE and so did netgear but screw'em it worked for me. the router is good so far worth 100 bucks. Its seems better than the dlink dir-655. think about buying a descent modem and router individually how much that will cost you. plus going through one thing instead of 2 has gotta be better. heck with dsl every little bit helps as far as speed goes. Oh and AT&T equipment sux and customer service are idiots. Have a nice day.
DSL phone line plug in Modem . I needed a modem for my computers quickly. I originally started many years ago with SBC provider which is now renamed AT&T. Originally they provided a modem with service now do not. Equipment is on me, so I replaced it about 4 years ago with a Netgear wireless router modem; which worked well concidering the torture my son and his freind applied to it while having LAN parties. Finally the wireless mode fizzled out so I needed to replace it. I found this model (wireless N300) at Staples down the street and it works faster and better than the one before. I needed fast and wanting a fast return if it was not going to work well (no time for shipping back and forth). Made of lighter materials for its' outer casing(Negitive), it works great. The set up software made install easy though it requied call AT&T for forgotten access login and password. Paid the same price as stated here so I feel better for only paying sale tax as the difference in cost. The signal strenth was by far stronger than it's predecessor. My only concern is the amount of torture it will take before failing, but feel somewhat confident it will last awhile.
Combines DSL modem and Wireless(n) Router in small package . This unit combines both the DSL modem and a wireless(n) router in one compact package. It was easy to set up and has a front panel WPA(one push) button for adding wireless network devices like printers.. It also has a USB port for adding network storage(hard drives or flashdrives).
With it installed on the middle floor the wireless range covers my complete 3-story house, and handles 1 hard wired computer, 4 wireless connected computers, and two wireless network printers.
This particular unit covers up through the (n) format using a single frequency with multiple channels. If you need dual frequencies to avoid interference from other devices you may want to upgrade to the next model.

Cons Review
Netgear = Worst products being made! BEWARE!!! SCAM! . Purchased this router several months ago, have had nothing but problems connecting wireless devices. Always says 'limited internet', or it just flat out doesn't connect. After spending about an hour messing with it on my laptop 'diagnosing problem'....it ends up connecting sometimes with a very weak signal. Then normally disconnects. Dealt with this for several months, thinking it was an internet provider issue.... then exchanged the router twice for the same one...still never worked right! Very spotty & doesn't work 90% of the time. The main computer that is plugged into it seems to work but is really slow & lags. I get not responding messages all the time. I contacted my provider and they said it was definitely a router problem & told me to contact them. Now, I just got off the phone trying to deal with Netgear... what a joke! You talk to people that hardly speak English, VERY POOR customer service, won't help you if their life depends on it. They insisted wanting to charge additional fees for contacting support. Finally spoke with the Manager/Supervisor after dealing with 3 different operators, & he wouldn't do anything to help my luck. All I wanted was a product that works, they wouldn't even offer help. Worst company.....bad products!..... I'd recommend anything else rather than a Netgear product. Use caution at your own risk.
Wireless signal comes and goes . From the day I took this modem/router out of the box I have not had anything but trouble as the wireless signal stops broadcasting, frequently once per day, sometime working correctly for several days or even a week before getting spurious. The Netgear modem/router is in my office and not more than 20' away from 3 computers. There are 1 or 2 dry wall walls between the computers and the router. Forget using this modem/router for VOIP: you'll be talking and then the wireless signal goes away. Then wait a few minutes for it to return, or power cycle the Netgear box and it's still a few minutes to re-broadcast it's signal.
The Netgear technical support is staffed by Indians (or similar) and they have a rudimentary command of English. They repeat everything v.e.r.y s-l-o-w-l-y to the point of being incredibly difficult to comprehend: say something then listen as the voice practices their English skills. Forget what you are trying to communicate because of this poor communication. Then they put you on hold. For many minutes at a time. They then come back with a fix-it that is for a problem that you don't have. WTF is Netgear in San Jose California thinking? Do they WANT to piss off customer? They certainly must think that this is acceptable for a few per cent of their business.
Finally after months and hours wasted with technical support I'm given an RMA. Yes, I have to return this crap and wait for them to repair it. I can just shut down my business because Netgear make craps and doesn't stand behind it. Or pay $20 so they send a replacement then I send the dud back to them. Either way I will buy another brand of modem + wireless router instead of getting Shanghai'd by Netgear. NEVER EVER WILL I BUY NETGEAR ANYTHIING.

Nothing but problems . I am having issues with the Netgear router. It worked okay for a few weeks, but now the signal is not sufficient to run my printer. The tech support people at Netgear told me it is a very common problem and very easy to fix but wanted to charge $39.99 in additional fees to change the computer settings and make the printer work. Initially, I spent many hours (over 4 days) on the phone with their tech support people who can't speak English legibly, very difficult to understand, just to get the router up and running at the start. I had to return it twice before I got one that would work at all and now after a few weeks, problems again. It is very poor business practice to charge a fee for the technical support required to get this product to work. I had no luck with Manager/Supervisor either. They were very sorry they could not help me without charging me an extra fee.I plan to return it and get some other modem router. I do not recommend this one at all.
