WD My Net N600 HD Dual Band Router Wireless N WiFi Router Accelerate HD

This router is fast and cheap.This router is about twice as fast as my old router, copying files up to my home file server at about 10mb per second. And it's still just as fast the next day or 2 after, so I've not reset it once yet and it's been online under heavy use for last 3 days, works great.I would notice with my old D-Link, it would gradually lose speed a few hours, or a day after it's been rebooted, and I got tired of resetting it all the time. Would not hang, just got slower, which was still not good.Not sure my laptop can take advantage of the dual-band feature.It's a 2012 model Samsung, but I don't think it supports 5ghz band. Seems it takes years for device manufacturers to catch up with router capabilities (like AC) so I'm not going to purchase features I don't need. (I see people buying routers all the time that far outpace any device they could possibly have in their home that could connect to it.)On the other hand, the last Wireless-N router I purchased was in 2008, and I've been looking for something faster every year since. I would read reviews and think, I'm not going to spend a $150 for a new router that's no better than the one I already have (since the reviews were not great, and they were expensive too).Very easy setup, not sure I'll need the dual band until I get a device that supports it; should happen soon enough.. since I'll probably keep this one about 4 years until I think I can do better for $70 or so.

This router replaced a no-name brand one that I got a couple of years ago at a local store. This cost a little bit more, but the range is better. I get max bars all over the house. It's a dual band transceiver, but I found out my home computer is only 2.4 GHz. Much more consistent high speeds, though. My work computer is dual band, and the 5 GHz speed is definitely better than with the old one. The best thing is ease of setup. The user interface is straightforward and intuitive. A quick look at the manual is all it takes. The install is by CD-ROM, which is no problem for me but might be for netbook users. Pleased overall, but maybe it's time I upgrade my home laptop for best performance.

I have no choice but to give this product a 1-star rating. The router I received simply did not work correctly. I bought this router to replace an ancient Linksys WRT54G (version 2) router. The old Linksys has always served me well, but since my ISP upped my internet speeds a few weeks ago, it isn't fast enough anymore to support it. Since I'm missing out on my new internet speed I decided to upgrade the router. I did a lot of research, and decided to go with the WD My Net N600 HD. It has gotten good reviews, and I like the dual-band features of it.Okay, so the router looks really nice. One thing you'll notice when you unpack it is the lack of external antenna's and the fact the device is surprisingly light weight. Almost too light. The indicator lights next to every WAN-port are a nice little extra feature too.One fired up and logged in with an internet browser the GUI is very nice and easy to use. So far the good.Here is the bad, and the reason for me returning this product and leaving a bad score:No device on my network could get any higher speeds then 72.2mbps. It almost looks like this router is locked and won't support any higher, though it should. I tried different security settings, different channels, set it from 20mhz channel width to 20-40 (auto), but to no avail. I cannot get 2.4GHZ device to connect at 150mbps. The signal strength was excellent, and I have no problems getting 150 mbps on any other N network. I only have one wireless signal in my area (I live out in the country) and that particular signal is on channel 1. I had the WD My Net N600 set to channel 6. There was absolutely no interference, yet I could not get any higher speeds then 72.2mpbs. I even turned of 5GHZ and security for testing purposes, but I couldn't win. It stayed stuck at 72.2mbps.That was pretty disappointing, but even worse was the fact the router would drop my internet connection for about 10 seconds every 5 minutes. I upgraded the firmware, checked all the settings, but again: After a couple of frustrating hours I was unable to come up with a solution.Needless to say I hooked up my ancient 12-year old - but rock solid - Linksys WRT54g again. Even though I am missing out on my improved internet speed of 30MBPS (which 54g is incapable of delivering, regardless of it being a 54mbps connection), at least with this old thing I have a stable connection again.I will be looking for another router again. If this WD My Net N600 would work as promised it would've been aan awesome little device: As it stands though, it seems to be a bit of a hit-and-miss. I personally will not try another WD router again.

I have had this router for about a month and it has been working wonderfully. You will be hard pressed to find a dual band router for under $30 and the addition of a usb port makes it all the better. The interface is much nicer than any other router I have owned. It is a bit of a shame that it is unable to use dd-wrt, but I do appreciated the sleek and simple design of the UI. I have had no problems with the wireless range either, which I was somewhat nervous about. The router is placed on the second floor directly above the roku that uses the 5ghz band and it receives a strong signal. The 2.4 ghz band also is able to reach my basement with a good signal as well.All in all, I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is the best $30 router you can get.

Pues no puedo opinar sobre este producto, puesto que no me sirvió ya que lo necesito para mi oficina móvil y no cuento con corriente alterna y el producto es para corriente alterna y no lo puede evaluar.Perdón
