I am now on my second WG602v4. The first one, v3 lasted 21 months. I highly suspect that Netgear and other manufactures are now using cheap electronic components that fail within about 2 years. However, this unit works quite well as a Wireless Ethernet Bridge between an upstream Netgear WPN824v2 (192.168.1.1) and a downstream Ethernet Linksys BEFSX41 router on its own network (192.168.2.1). Setting it up in the client, infrastructure mode is a bit difficult. The WPN824 Router and WG602 channel must match, and several switches including the password need to be re-entered when the unit re-boots. The hard re-set button on the back comes in handy in case you cannot access the unit.

No Problem great product. Good delivery time. Not to easy to set up unless you read the instructions carefully But works fine.

The NetGear WG602 Wireless Access Point is a fairly easy to use device, and has a WPA security feature that is relatively easy to set-up. Connecting to the Access Point with a laptop is very easy, and if I don't deliberately connect to the Access Point, it will be automatically connected, as long as it is within range. The range of the device is sufficient also, and it is able to reach all areas of my home with no problems, or interruptions.
