Netgear KWGR614

Bad – I had a Linksys sometime ago, but the coverage in my home is poor, so with the recommendation from my colleague, I purchased this Netgear G router. Guess today all of this home routing product has very similar feature, so the only reason I purchase this is because of its high cover range. I can use it in my backyard, in the bed room on the 2nd floor without too much signalling issue. The setup is easy, except that I am unable to stop the broadcast of SSID just like the Linksys does, there is no option in the Netgear at all, which seems to be a little security concern. The other major problem I have is, the DNS in the router fails from time to time, end up with web browing failure, the only way to recover is to power cycle it. I have to do this every one to two days time, so adding a bit of inconvenience. I search the Netgear support on this product, but there is no firmware upgrade on this product for the last few year, so I think Netgear is not prepare to support this product at all. Relative high power, high coverage DNS fail from time to time, need to reboot the router to recover
