Unlike the Linksys WRT120N, Netgear's WNR2000 does carry the Wi-Fi Alliance's 802.11n certification, but that logo didn't help this router perform any better in our benchmark tests. On the other hand, this was one of the few routers able to maintain a...
Netgear's router was barely faster than the Linksys at close range, delivering anemic TCP throughput of just 47.1Mb/s, compared to the WRT120N's equally paltry 45.4Mb/s. But the WNR2000 was slower than the rest of the field with the client on the patio...
Netgear WNR2000
Pros:
- well priced compared to competing wireless N options
- impliments the latest wireless N draft standard
- also supports more secure WPA/WPA2
- automatically updates its own firmware
- supports QoS out of the box
- configuration is very intuitive vs linksys.
Cons:
- Does not support Nat Loopback with port forwarding/DMZ. ie internal devices won't have ports forwarded to the correct host, but instead will try to access the router on that port. Manually editting the hosts file is not a solution for wireless devices that may leave the network.
- Port forwarding on this router seems to be a shambles, it just does NOT want to work at all and only loads the router login page, even with "Remote management" switched off, it allows remote login and remote management! It sucks as I cant access my homeserver remotely
- internal antenna
- Apparently there is a glitch with this modem making it nearly impossible to link it with any Sony product. I have a brand new Sony Bravia TV which was linked and streaming video perfectly before I bought this hunk of junk. It WILL NOT link to my TV. I've spent hours on the phone with both Sony and Netgear and no one can offer a solution.
