This is a great wireless router for the network I'm supporting. I have several in service already and they give reliable wide area coverage at minimal cost.

I decided to try this model because I was disgusted with other brands of access points, mostly because they either seemed to have trouble supporting simultaneous multiple wireless connections, or would stop assigning new IP addresses (via DHCP) to wireless units requesting access until I reset or restarted the access point. At last, this Netgear WG102 WAP works well and never fails to connect any Wi-Fi unit requesting access. Furthermore, I never realized that any WAP could support multiple SSID's with different encryption modes all at once. But this one does! So, for the first time, I have no complaints about a wireless access point! This one doesn't screw up, & it has more features than I ever thought could be packed into one unit for a decent price (I had ordered it using wishful "blind-faith" not realizing all its capabilities until I received it). Not a smart thing to do, but I was rewarded nonetheless. _Church

This unit works great but it took me 3 days to figure out how to configure it. Netgear support was no help, although they did respond to my e-mail - which just didn't read correctly, so their answer was of no help. The problem turned out that the laptop needed the address of the Verizon DNS server. The Netgear instructions don't get you a clue about that; just how to configure the unit with it's address. I recommend the unit for experienced techies. I've only been working with computers and networks for 40 years - what do I know?
