NetGear RangeMax WPN824 Router (WPN824CN) — 

The Router its self was easy to set up. Take it out of the box pug in the Cable Modem into it and any wired (up to four). We had to call the Cable Company(Comcast) to give them the MAC Number.  Had trouble getting the people in India to understand the MAC Number.  

I do recommend you use the 15 character password to lock down the router to keep the honest people out of you Home Network. I someone, a Hacker, wants to get into your system, they will.  

The router is located in the basement but puts out a strong enough signal to use a laptop in the back yard. This is in a house that most cell phones don't work, we get two radio stations, you get the idea! This is called "Radio Free Newark", because radio signal disappear. 

The router has blue lights(Sexy Blue Lights(SBL) as the sales person described them)That shows how the sign is rotating for better sign distribution.  I don't know if they are anything but show, but we get a good sign throughout the house.

I recommend purchasing the Netgear RangeMax WPN824 Router for home or small office use. Set up is easy and the tech support was helpful.  My son and I are techies and have a habit of pushing things to they limits.
