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 N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router review
The N900 has excellent range when used with suitable client devices, and has decent real-world performance but - as with any of the new breed of 450Mbps routers - don't expect it to work miracles, in areas with heavy interference.

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
