Very good, except for the USB Storage port

In principle, a very good router that was also very easy to set up. For earlier Netgear user is also beneficial (or not, depending on how you like to see it) that the web-based configuration interface has apparently changed little in the last 10 years. If you want to use this interface so you should be able some network basics.

My reason for writing this review, however, is the USB interface, which allows you to make an external USB hard drive on the LAN to other user. The device and the access over the network to the hard disk is very simple; it is as a shared drive is available, and how to set up and just as in Windows Explorer (such as with // EasyShare / My Pictures), the share name can be freely selected.

However, and here the big drawback is that performance in the data transfer rate is absolutely unsatisfactory and is wirlich 'beneath contempt'. Other users have reported the lies of the 10% above a transmission rate, which is in direct connection USB Drive - would achieve computer (eg 1.5 MB / s instead of 15 MB / s). This leads to unbearably long waiting times when you perform simple file operations will (copy or move files such as).

This massive performance problem, which had reported other users, I can fully confirm. For me, anyway good for the USB functionality of this router nothing, and have therefore ceased to use it. The USB connection should not be a purchase criterion for this router.

Otherwise I am as I said very satisfied with this product.
