Netgear RangeMAX 240 May 22nd, 2006 | by Vince Veneziani

Conclusion

When it comes down to it, you have a really nice looking router that improves performance and is fast. However, Netgear needs more devices that can take advantage of the RangeMax 240's speeds and a PCI card adapter. That problem combined with the high prices of the gear makes it just not worth it at this time. Wait awhile and see what happens with pre-N networking gear. Now is not the time to be buying a bunch of equipment that could be dead in a year or two. Netgear is offering some nice stuff for people who have money to spend, but for the rest of us, we'll play the waiting game to see what happens.

Pros

• Fast wireless speeds
• Improves existing wireless connections
• Multiple Antennae

Cons

• Pricey
• Connectivity only through USB adaptor and PC card
• Not enough compatibility options
