Personally speaking, every time I've tried to use a Netgear Router, I've had some issues. Ok. it's done the basics of allowing a connection, but the config of ancilliary stuff has been problematic. For example a work netgear router, despite apparently supporting VPN passthrough, didnt. Swapped to a Ã‚Â£40 Linksys and all resolved.

That's not to say Netgear are bad, I just don't get on with them.

However in this instance, whether you prefer the VM supplied router, or your original may depend on stuff such as the wireless speeds supported by each, whether there are other toys available like QoS, or whatever.
