The product itself looked rough, even for refurbished. When i opened the box, there were long strands of hair, very gross.
Went to the website to configure and could not get the product to read.

Got this for my in-laws who had an older unit provided by their ISP which would stop routing correctly and need to be power cycled.
Installed this unit, reset it to make sure it was at the factory defaults, and had it automatically detect proper settings for the line. Installation was simple and flawless.
Note: Updating the unit to the latest firmware decreased the number of available wireless networks (SSIDs) from 4 to 2, but that is OK because that was all I needed anyway to provide both a secure network for their use and a guest network.

Decent device that has DSL modem and wireless routing in one unit.

For my application at home this was a prefect replacement for centurylink products. the zyxel was terrible, dropped every 10 to 40 minutes. This netgear has not dropped since I installed it.

Replaced a dead ATT 2wire modem with this thing, having had good experiences with NetGear products in the past. Had a little trouble trying to change access passwords (didn't work, leave it alone) but after that glitch got overcome, machine works like a dream. I did not expect internet to speed up, but apparently 2wire thing was a bottleneck, now removed. Good item, excellent price, thank you!

This product did not work right out of the box. Since it was a refurbished item, there was no phone support available -- only email support. It took 10 days of emailing back and forth and troubleshooting with Netgear for them to finally tell me that the item was defective. What a waste of my time!

Buydig.com sent me a RA label with instruction to return via FedEx. However, the nearest staffed FedEx site is approximately 40 miles away.

Despite being "Refurbished", my unit is working as well as the one I purchased brand new. However, documentation that comes with package is minimal (no CD). Not sure if I would be able to set it up if I hadn't worked on one before.

Refurbished devices do not come with free customer service assistance to help set up device. instead they wanted to charge 80 for tech support! Email support is free, but there is a 24 hour turn around time on responses. This can be difficult without internet! I will admit, a response only took about 5 hours, and instuctions were thorough and solved my problem, however, in order to obtain instructions it takes you to a link. Again, with no internet this can be a problem. We had to tether our cell phones to get access to the info.

General browsing and movies via dishnetwork.
A lot of connections and great range.
Supposed to be easy set-up, but wasn't. And with no available person to person support, makes it more difficult.
