It was easy to install with their "walk through" software, but when we added my son's PC (the rest of us have Macs) it is not as friendly with Windows Vista as I would like to see. We had numerous problems getting it to connect with the PC. I would blame Vista more than Netgear, but there is obviously an interconnection problem here. Also, it does not provide that much stronger a signal than the out-dated Motorola I was using. Newer and easier, but perhaps not better.
Easy to set up. Very fast. Range is excellent. Did a price match when I bought it. Researched different routers and this one had very good reviews so I got it and it was a great decision. For the price you can't beat it.
