				     Pros: 
     It worked for about 6 months 
      
  
       Cons: 
     Overheats and requires reboots several times a day 
      
  
  Full user opinion 
  If you go to Netgear's own forum's (in their support section) you'll find that a lot of users have been complaining about these routers overheating and dropping their connections. The problem extends even up to the 624. Some owners have reported failures as early as day 1 of ownership. Solutions range from ripping open the case, adding heatsinks, to installing fans on the unit. Why go through all that bother? 
 
Netgear's own techs are either clueless or refuse to acknowledge the probem. I've finally given up on it.
