Problems Galore, Deadbeat Techies

bynad_masters Oct 21, 2005

Pros Asthetically pleasing
Cons Problems galore (read for more)
Recommended it? No

As usual, an office that needs to be connected wirelessly will need a wireless access point. So with a positive experience with Netgear's Rangemax line of products, we decided that a standard G AP was all that was needed in a 5-desktop user enviroment. The Netgear WG602v3 802.11g wireless access... Read full review »

It's great! (when it works...)

Pros Easy setup. Good range and speed when it works. Handles mixed 802.11b+g environments well.
Cons Limited features(no diagnostics). Latest firmware buggy. Technical Support stinks...
Recommended it? No

I'll give a quick summary, followed by a more detailed history...

Summary:
I just came home with my 3rd WG602 Access Point. The first two failed in the following manner:
- radio coverage / connection dies
- firmware info page accessible from a web browser
- passwords... Read full review »

Terrible Support

byhighlandsun Nov 1, 2004
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Easy setup, performance is fast for the first few hours of operation.
Cons Buggy firmware, no foreseeable upgrades.
Recommended it? No

1) the box said WPA support would be available in a future firmware upgrade. This was a major point influencing my purchase decision. But now Netgear answers my inquiries with "no such upgrade will be offered." (WG602v1)

2) the performance slows down over time. Extensive testing shows... Read full review »

Can be a frustrating & inconsistent piece of kit

8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros got good reviews :-). WG602 web interface is clear and functional.
Cons still can't get it to perform reliably, or well.
Recommended it? No

I am still trying to determine if the WG511/WG602 combination I am using is faulty, incorrectly configured or just messed up by a poor signal environment. What I do know is that I have not had the success with it I had been hoping for. But I haven't totally given up yet... It works enough to be... Read full review »

It was worth waiting for

byupbeat80s May 20, 2003
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Fast, Easy to install, Fast, Good range, WEP encryption, Did I mention it's fast?
Cons No telnet configuration, PCI cards weren't ready for the product release
Recommended it? Yes

For months I've put up with cat-5 cables running through my house because I knew that 802.11G was coming and I didn't want to put out the money on something I would just be replacing. I'm really glad I waited.

Even after the WG602 came out I hesitated because they don't have a PCI card... Read full review »

It just doesn't work

byteddybear8 Jul 12, 2004

Pros Easy setup, good looking
Cons Weak signal and weak connection. Simple doesn't work
Recommended it? No

I bought a Dell 600m laptop one and half year ago. With it, I set up my home wireless network. I already have a broadband network setup so a wireless access point would be enough for me. At that time, 102.11G was just in beta period and there was not too much choices around. Netgear happened to be... Read full review »

Product does not last!

byrichard64 Nov 17, 2006
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros price
Cons lasted 6 months
Recommended it? No

Netgear access point worked good for 6 months then died. Could not configure it because the ethernet port died. Would only run in default mode, wide open with no security.
This box was basically useless. Chunked it in the trash and bought a 3Com access point, much easier to set up. Hopefully... Read full review »

Good for the price (WG602 v3)

byprint_review Sep 5, 2006
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Good value, easy setup, good speed and coverage, decent security.
Cons Plasticky feel, little in the way of diagnostics.
Recommended it? Yes

We got this at work to give limited wireless access to the small (under 10) number of people who wanted to ditch the cables now that their laptops have wireless built in.

Out of the box it was clearly a brand new product, packaged appropriately but not excessively. Contents of the box... Read full review »

"A source of frustration..."

byohd222 Apr 18, 2005

Pros Never got it working long enough to find any!
Cons See the text of my review.
Recommended it? No

Recently, I decided it was time for me to replace the old Belkin "B" router that I'd been using for some time with a newer, "G" system. Not that the increase in transfer speed from 11mb to 54mb meant a thing in my particular situation (it didn't… I use my system purely as an internet access... Read full review »

Nightmare on router street

bywaynedude Feb 16, 2006

Pros Cool looks is about it, but who cares, it is a router!
Cons Netgear should be embarrassed that they ever let this product out the door...
Recommended it? No

I bought this to upgrade to 802.11 G and because it came bundled with a USB stick for my laptop. Well from the get-go, I could not get the wireless connection running using a wep key because I tried using the phrase vs entering a full key (which took about an hour with tech support to figure out...
