I really am not sure why others had problems. First of all, the ONLY thing I read in the instruction booklet was the default IP address of the router, so I could access the administration interface. After that, I unplugged the cables from the Linksys (and my mini-hub) and plugged them into this Netgear, along with the power cord. My one hardwired computer attached to it instantly. I used that PC to log into the router, and found the UI to be farily intutitive. I entered in my PPPoE username & password for my DSL, and set the SSID and WEP code identically to the linksys setup. The router logged into my DSL service immedaitely and my 2 wireless connected PCs(both 802.11b)found the network and started working just fine as well, all able to see each other as well as the internet.
I think that if you are not familiar at all with home networking or wireless networking, or don't understand what I've said above, you should expect the standard challenges of trying something new. Short of that though, I don't see why anyone would have a mojor problem with this router. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is I just started using it, and therefore am witholding judgement. But, Setup alone gets 5 stars.
