Couldn't find this anywhere else at this price. Looks like a good deal, but the reviews are so-so. Apparently the speeds aren't that great.

If you have a personal review, let us know in the comments.

I have 2 WNR2000v2 (this one is WNR2000v3) at home sitting in a box somewhere.. If you want I can sell them for cheap.. :)

I bought them for ~$70 each couple years ago. The wifi range is not great in my opinion. If you are looking for a good wifi coverage, this is definitely not the one to go. The nighthawk has a much better wifi range. I got one from this deal

The powerline technology itself is very old (I think it's AV200?). The current technology is AV500 which is slightly better than AV200. Of course the throughput is exaggerated and you won't get anywhere near 500Mbps across rooms on AV500. (I've had both of them)

  Yeah. I was about to buy one right after posting this deal… then I read some reviews on Newegg and Amazon. Users were not happy with it. But hey. Someone who lives in a small enough apartment might find this useful. Maybe even use the powerline thing. But apparently even that isn't that great.

Although my last netgear router was OK, I've had terrible support issues with all other netgear products. In that buggy firmware is left unfixed and you have to buy the new version to get it fixed. But this should be old enough tech that it won't crash weekly.

This was posted 10 years 3 months 11 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
