Digital camera reviews of NETGEAR WNHDEB111-100NAS Wireless N Access Point
Digital camera Review: Fastest speed I've experienced, but slightly difficult setup process
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the third (and final!) in a series of 802.11n routers I tried over the last few weeks. I upgraded to 'n' since our G router + Linksys Range Expander couldn't effectively reach across our courtyard and into my wife's office. We needed high throughput and reliability in an environment that was tough on the G protocol. There are many houses nearby, so wireless interference is a hindrance and unfortunate reality.
With this router, which I discovered through online computer site reviews and other sources, I think we have beaten the system. It works very well, establishes a high-speed, robust connection between the FIOS modem, and also allows other devices to connect with great 'n' connections as well.
Overall, I am very pleased with this product. It runs as advertised and has solved our quirky problem.
BEWARE, this device only broadcasts on the 802.11n and 802.11a protocols. This is not your everyday router. It will either work with your newest wireless devices (enabled for 802.11n or the very old 802.11a) or you will have to run a second b/g router to work with "older" wireless devices (Tivo, Playstation 3, iPhones etc.). This is not a problem for me, but I didn't think about that before I bought it.
Would recommend this product to anyone looking to provide a dedicated, high-speed wireless connection between two important devices, but not as your everyday router.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
You have opened a whole new world of gaming but, not only playing other players, you can get information and insights available only to the online people.
Where to start? You have an information pipe that connects you to the internet. Most people have cable with a digital router connected to it. It's the box that the network cables or cables a bit bigger than the phone lines go into it.
Get power to your wireless networking. Then plug it into your digital cable box or how ever you connect to the internet. Then plug your Xbox, Wii or whatever into that.
You may need to power down the digital cable box so it recognizes the new stuff you've plugged in. And you may also have to program in a secret code to your wireless neighbors don't surf on your connection, but other than that, you should be good to go.
It takes game playing to a whole new virtual vorld. I'm looking forward to playing Texas Hold'em with others.
Excellent product, as Netgear always makes.
Digital camera Review: Good wireless solution that is easy to set up.

We decided to try this kit out due to our wireless network having troubles reaching our master bedroom Tivo. A problem that I encountered was that the Series 2 Tivo does not have ethernet capabilities, so we ordered an adapter for future use. In the meantime we tested the kit out on our Xbox 360 for a speed test. Upon opening the box I found out all directions were on a CD, there was no wizard or guide to help connect everything, the actual installation guide is just a PDF file. The directions were a little confusing at first, but after a quick reread I hooked everything up as instructed. I hooked one unit up to our 802.11g router and went through the set up, which went quickly.
With the bridge working, the Xbox registered the connection as hard-wired and we were able to get on-line easily. I next set up the Xbox as a media extender for my PC. During the setup routine the Xbox tests network bandwidth and shows a chart with the words "acceptable for standard TV" and after that, at a higher level, "HDTV." With the bridge kit in place, the bandwidth chart was completely maxed out to the very highest level even on the HDTV portion of it. The Microsoft wireless Xbox adapter we had been using had only registered the first bar of the HDTV portion. For the next test I downloaded an HD movie, 5.7GB, from Xbox Live. The download took roughly 43 min, a little over half the time that it took to download the same size move over the wireless adapter.
After the ethernet adapter arrived, I hooked up the Series 2 Tivo and I downloaded a few shows from my computer and a few from our second Tivo in the living room. The wireless bridge solution was noticeably faster, but your transfer speeds are limited by the Tivo software. All in all, the Netgear is a very good wireless solution, easy to set up and use and is great for the Xbox360 and media streaming, but for non-HD Tivo it is overkill, unless you have very poor reception in your house.
Digital camera Review: Great Kit
Summary: 5 Stars
I am big fan of Netgear, I have personally installed them in my office and home. They are very reliable and they do NOT go down. I have Netgear routers, hubs and switches many 10 years and older, and they are so easy to set up. This pair was no exception, just follow the directions. I am using the Bridge half for my XBOX 360 in my bedroom and the Access point is connected to my router in my Living room. Signal strength is amazing, even with the doors closed! Game play is smooth - I can tell no difference from when I was wired. Just make sure you engage the security features and all will be fine.Digital camera Review: Great Wireless Bridge

SO I bought this almost a month ago and wanted to review it after a good testing. First let me tell you what I paired this with - the netgear WNR3500 (wireless N Gigabit router). And although the setup of the router was a bit akward using a cd-rom it worked out decently. But I digress. After the set up of my router I attached these 2 bridges and it was pretty simple. Almost as simple of pushing buttons but setup may neccesitate logging into the router to establish the initial connection... With that in mind the performance has been awesome! I have not had any disconnections and it provides amazing coverage throughout the house upstairs and downstairs. No deadspots in the house and connection to my laptop is consistently 300 mbps. Definitely worth the purchase.
