What most people don’t know is a wireless router greatly strengthens the equipment software protection because it acts as shield against web threats , so it really represents a safer barrier to uninvited content when compared for example to the firewall available by default with Windows .

Net-Gear has put an effort in conceiving a cheap wireless router that is far from ill-equipped:

• It allows for accurate metrics of Internet traffic on a daily, weekly and monthly basis, using a tool called Broadband Usage Meter

• Children always safe: the N600 offers a painless and very safe method of constantly monitor children´s web browsing with Live Parental Controls option.

• Because green is clean the N600 router has everything incorporated to assure an efficient low cost operating demands. It comes with a Energy Star-compliant power adapter to reduce electricity consumption, a convenient one touch power and Wi-Fi on/off buttons and three quarters of its body is made of recycled packaging.

Because a house is made up of many different materials that are going to absorb and block wireless signals,one of the setbacks of having a wireless network is the decreasing strength of the signal as more barriers have to be overcome ( walls, storage, furniture, etc. ). This is only an issue at big r houses ( from 3000 square feet and beyond) where can be very tricky to maintain a quality signal at all divisions of every floor. Netgear has found the way to overcome this problem since a single wireless router is not going to provide full coverage. The Wireless bridge and wireless repeater functions allow extended range of signal coverage which will probably solve most problems.

At highly populated areas the 2.4 ghz band ( the most common radio frequency used by wireless devices) congestion can be an issue with the ordinary wireless router, but not with Netgear N600N600 Wireless Dual Band Router. This affordable router supports 5GHz band , which equals less interference) so video quality is never compromised when using demanding video applications like Apple`s iChat .

The installation process is as simple as possible: the smart-wizard installation CD guides all the installation process, and in the event the router configuration CD is lost the solution is simply to connect the router to a computer by plugging one end of an Ethernet Cable into any of the four LAN ports on the back of the router, logging in to the Netgear router and allow the setup wizard to run.
