Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)My husband has a computer business and has purchased 5 of these devices for various customers. Each and every one of them have failed. Three of them within the 3 months Netgear will provide free support for and two of them after 1 year.
When they work they don't work so well, a lot of disconnects, and network not found. Working with support stated that too many wireless networks in a congested area will cause this. Understandable, but hardware failures are not understandable.
Out of the five of them, Netgear has replaced the three that failed withing the 90 period and they have been taken out of service since then. There were too many network disconnects to be useful.
When they fail the power light comes on, but nothing else. No network light when the cat5 cable is plugged into it, nor does the wireless work on the device either.
My husband made the mistake of purchasing them when they were fairly new and paid over 170.00 per. What a mistake. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS AS IT IS JUNK.

NETGEAR WN802T RangeMax Next Wireless-N Access Point Gigabit EditionThe NETGEAR WN802T RangeMax Next Wireless-N Access Point Gigabit Edition lets you easily set up a wireless network in your home so you can share a single internet connection with everyone in your household at speeds up to 300 Mbps. You can stream music and video, make internet phone calls, videoconference, and surf the web, all at the same time.
Easy Setup The WN802T makes it easy for even a novice to set up a wireless network: just plug the included Ethernet cable from your LAN into the device and insert the included CD into any computer on the network, which will provide step-by-step instructions. The WN802T offers a myriad of placement options by including a stand for vertical placement and also a wall-mount kit.
The WN802T employs a web-based interface for configuration for compatibility with any computer with a web browser. The firmware is also upgradeable via the web interface so you can be sure your access point will always be up-to-date.
New Technology Means Blazing Speeds and Backwards Compatibility The WN802T complies with the latest 802.11n draft specification which allows for speeds up to 300 Mbps; this maximum speed can be achieved when used with other TopDog devices. By utilizing MIMO (multiple-input, multiple-output) technology, the WN802T has speed and range far surpassing the older 802.11g standard. The preset antennas in the access point ensure that the device is always tuned for optimal performance, and NETGEAR's Wi-Fi Multimedia technology optimizes audio, video, and voice applications.
By using Gigabit Ethernet for the backend, you'll be certain that the access point is receiving data at the highest possible speeds, ensuring the 300 Mbps wireless throughput is not going to waste.
If you still have computers that use 802.11g or 802.11b, don't fret as the access point is backwards compatible with the older wireless standards and can be set so all your computers can connect to the network. The access point will automatically figure out the connection type and work accordingly.
Security Made Easy NETGEAR's Touchless WiFi Security makes it quick and easy to set up network security on a WiFi network by asking for a passphrase from the user. The WN802T supports WiFi Protected Access (WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK), and 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption for 802.11b/g networks. Additionally, you can set security through MAC address authentication, allowing only authorized users onto the network. There is also support for 802.1x RADIUS support with EAP TLS, TTLS, and PEAP.
The NETGEAR WN802T RangeMax Next Wireless-N Access Point Gigabit Edition is backed by a 1-year warranty.
