Netgear WNDR4500 N900 Dual Gigabit Wireless Router
It seems there is never a good time to buy a new piece of technology, but never has this been truer than with routers in mid-May 2012. For those not in the know late May will see the launch of a new wireless standard, 802.11ac , capable of speeds surpassing a gigabit so anything launching with...
Pros:
- Excellent simultaneous dual band performance
- Class leading range
- notably at 5GHz
- Two USB ports
Cons:
- Pricing on the premium side
- 802.11n a poor investment with 802.ac imminent

Netgear WNDR4500 Wi-Fi Router Review
It's easy to become jaded when you review as much cutting-edge hardware as we do. We try not to be curmudgeons, but we do get grumpy when next-gen hardware fails to make a leap in performance-or worse, when it falls behind the gear it's intended to supplant.
Pros:
- Exceedingly fast
- dual USB 2.0 ports
- DLNA certified
Cons:
- Slower than WNDR3700 when reading files from attached USB hard drive

Good router, but maybe not for the price
This is a pretty good router that provides a number of options. The interface is one of the best I have seen from Netgear, clean and fast, but not the best organized and it lacks in options compared to other routers at this price.

Netgear WNDR4500
It probably says something that the WNDR4500 is significantly bigger than Netgear's other routers, and still splits its power supply into a brick form that's bigger than some laptop power supplies.
Pros:
- Chart-leading 5GHz performance, excellent 2.4GHz performance
- IPv6 support
- Good parental filtering tools
- Gigabit WAN
Cons:
- 20-second restart for every setting applied
- Web UI not well thought through
- Traffic control needs work

This is a sweet router.
My daughter has Playstation, we have 5 computers (4 Wi-Fi connected), use wi-fi for our smart phones, use Netflix, Wi-Fi Printer, etc. My last Netgear router was a 2006 version and it still worked after 6 years of continuous use (just needed rebooted several times a week, printer would drop off).
Pros:
- Easy set up
- never drops connection
- never needs rebooted
- really strong W-Fi signal in and outside the house
Cons:
- Nothing

Netgear WNDR4500 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router review
With all the hype around 802.11ac it's easy to forget that 802.11n is still the most prevalent Wi-Fi standard in use and can still deliver excellent value and speed. We've been mightily impressed by recent Netgear routers, especially the 802.11ac R6300, but although they've delivered great...
