Best Product for home use
By Amar Don
Excellent product - home use product!!!
Great value for money, but configuration can have issues
By Madhukar B Mon
I recently got this product for my relatives. I am already using a netgear product and have had no issues with it, so decided to buy this. The added advantages being,
a. less than 1000Rs,
b. very small in dimensions
c. Sufficient range and reach
Flipkart as usual made a very quick delivery, within 48 hours. I continue to be impressed by their promptness and hassle free product delivery.
I had a very tough time configuring this. The configuration requires accessing the router page via www.routerlogin.net. This would not work at all. using 192.168.1.1 didnt work either. I tried using various online forums, but with not much progress.
The problem was that for some reason the default gateway had taken up ip of 10.0.0.1 instead of 192.168.1.1
If tried to configure it via 10.0.0.1, the configuration pages were not accessible.
After trying several things, including factory reset. I finally gave up after 2 hours, and called up netgear customer care.
The customer care person, made me do all the things which I had already tried for first 30 minutes.
Finally he had this weird suggestion,
a. remove ISP connector
b. to press the reset button, while pressing the reset button, remove and plugin power cable 3 times.
c. after the third time, switch off the router
d, wait for 20 seconds
e. restart the laptop
f. restart the router.
This worked, and it got 192.168.1.1 address, and the configuration went fine.
All this took about an hour more.
In all extremely cumbersome to troubleshoot the configuration issues.
The product finally worked, and has been good so far
A perfect router for a home
By Bijuon
My previous router was terrible (Edimax), if anyone in the house used torrents, then no one else in the house has no access the internet even though we had a 10mbps connection. But this one is brilliant.
I put it through a very decent stress test, and it passed with flying colours!
Pros:
1. Performs excellent when lot of connections and data transfer are involved.
2. Very tiny. Includes a vertical mount too. (The picture shown seems outdated)
3. Has a ton of features -- includes QoS (you can set priority for gaming etc..)
4. Has even more tons of features ( like traffic control, remote management, net filter )
5. Cheap
6. Has a good range (even though it does not include the antenna as shown in the picture)
Cons:
None. For this price - its perfect.
Works fine, but the setup may be a little complex in some cases (Process included here)
By Arru scion
It works very fine. Haven't yet tested the range. If you have a modem that converts your phone line to enable internet access and your modem's IP happens to match with the WNR612's IP, then the setup gets a little complex. First connect your directly to your system (without using WNR612), go to run > cmd>
In CMD window, type "ipconfig/all" without quotes.
note down the Default Gateway address.
Now disconnect your previous modem, place it aside, and connect only the WNR612 to your system and power it on. (Connect it from first LAN port (Yellow port) to system, without providing input from your old ISP modem to Blue Port of WNR612)
wait for a minute and now press the reset button for about 30 seconds (while connected and powered on)
Leave for a minute, then power off the WNR612 and power on again.
Again after a minute, go to CMD and type "ipconfig/all" without quotes.
note down default gateway.
fire up browser and type in the default gateway address.
If the default gateway happens to be same as your previous modem, you can now change it here.
default ID: admin
Password: password
the address would probably be of the format 192.168.xx.yy or 192.168.x.y
Change the value in the position of xx or x from the above examples, to differ from that of your old ISP Modem
to do that, follow these steps:
Advanced> Setup> Internet Setup> Internet IP Address> Gateway IP Address
Change the value in the third box of Gateway IP Address from 1 to 0 or 1 to 2 or so on.
now apply the settings.
Note down the new Gateway IP Address that you just entered.
you may have to type the password again.
then, go to Advanced> Administration> Set Password>
Change the default password from "password" to something else that you can remember, so that no one else who may be connected to your device via wifi may access the settings.
Viola! You just set a new Router password.All done!.
Now power off the WNR612 and unplug all wires, connect the Internet ( Cat 5) cable from your ISP Modem to WAN port (blue) of WNR612, and another Cat 5 (given with WNR612) from LAN 1 (Yellow port) to your system. Power on only your ISP modem, wait till all lights are stable, now power on router WNR612.
Open the browser, and you must be able to browse all sites perfectly.
Remember, WIFI ID and password are different from Router ID and password.
To setup WIFI access and change WIFI ID and password, type in the changed Gateway IP address that you noted down, in the browser address bar, and use the changed password.
Advanced> Setup> Wireless Setup> Wireless Network
Change the SSID if you wish to,
or, to just change the password,
Security Options ( Row below SSID)
select "WPA-PSK[TKIP]+WPA2-PSK[AES]" as security type and give new password in the next row that says Pass phrase.

Feedback about Netgear WNR612
By Raj Shahon
Hello Pre-Buyers/Post-Buyers,
I would like to tell in simple words
this router is economic financially, but its very costly in terms of configuration...
yes once the configurations is done...it runs like a light..
#for broadband users (pppoE), dont connect modem with router at 1st.
login to router 1st through the system, after the connect the modem to router..
feel free to contact me for any configuration issues
Go for it
By Prathewon
Liked the thrill of One-day Delivery!Little disappointed that I missed the Deal of 550/- but could manage for 690 + oneday delivery charge.Product is a very easy-to-setup one. Just had to connect the network cable to the laptop and the Internet service provider outlet to the Router. Netgear provides a wizard which works like a Geenie and you literally don't have to do much. Only thing that I did is that I personalized the User Name and Password.Data Transfer rate is little less as compared to my old D-Link DIR-300 and has 2 network slots as compared to the 5 in the D-link one. By the way, 150 is supposed to be the half of 300 and also opting a 2-slots one was solely my choice. So, for the specifications mentioned for this device, it is working as it must. The interesting part was the setting up of the device; was like a mom spoon-feeding her baby. With D-link you may feel like you are a nerdy technician once you get the set up done by your own or may be you need to call a real technician!All the Wifi devices detected without any hassles and in no time.Though a little premature, i would say "go for it"!
Not that good in terms of Range and Size
By Fazalon
This product is not that bad but it size and range are not that good,From many of the reviews, I thought this product will be best suited for a house of G+2 but on terrace there is no range, just 1 bar is blinking.And size, woa it's smaller than Yureka, believe me.But it's recommended for for compact spaces.
Worst product and worst customer care ever. Review after 6 months.
By Mssjagannathon
This Router has worked fine for the first 6 months. After that, it started giving troubles with Wifi Signal and Internet connectivity. When ever there is a power outage, the router stops responding after the power comes back. Reset button has no use as well. I had to switch off the router for about 2 to 3 hours and then switch it back on to get it to work again. Placed a request by email with netgear support but the response came back after three days stating that I was not eligible for technical support after 90 days and they asked me to check with the non existing service centers. The service center address was no where to be found on their website. I tried calling them on their call centre number but after the call is transferred to technical support, I was put on hold for indefinite time. Worst customer care I have ever seen. I seriously suggest not to buy any Netgear Items for home purpose.

Great router for an apartment
By Rohiton
Great router for an apartment. I have a 2bhk and I've kept the router in the hall. The signal reaches me at every spot in the house so issues regarding that. Though there's been a confusion about the features it provides. In one of the uploaded images, it was shown that it supports push to connect. There's no button for that however. Doesn't really impact much, but could be useful for those who're looking for a router where they don't want to remember the password every time they connect a new device.
