How is the "re-furbished" router performing? Or, are all these reviews for "refurbished" item?

contact Actiontec. They will be able to tell you if their router is compatible with your system and/or is a good replacement for what you currently have

Hmm I wish I had gotten this one then.Belkin N+ is a good router though and we haven't had any problems with it whatsoever.I would recommend it. But I'm thinking the version2 of this linksys is better.

I have never been disappointed with the performance of this router and have never had it bog down on any of my projects. Remember that if you order the tool and find that it does not perform to your expectations, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund. I believe that if you purchase this tool, you won't be disappointed, but you have the money back guarantee to fall back on if you are.

I believe it was refurbished. It wasn't new it was like new. It works really well.

I haven't tried it yet. I'm using the August 2013 firmware. I don't have any problems with the router, but my use is pretty simple.

The unit I purchased was new. It still operates well. If you'll recall, I was railing against refurbished units and a reader directed me to a site where new units were available.

I bought mine only 2 weeks ago and the firmware I have now is dated 8/24/07 and xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-1036. I have not tweaked my settings yet. The defaults are looking very good with free over the air HD channels. Put in HD channels or blueray player or Hd-dvd player, if all look good then just be happy with it. I can't say for sure about the refurbished unit.

The unit seems to be working fine. The firmware update worked without a hitch. I use it every day and didn't have any problem whatsoever. If there is a chance to save a "few" bucks I don't mind buying factory refurbished units.

I don't think these are actually refurbished at all, rather brand new factory surplus that they put in a brown box instead of a white retail box so they can't be sold as new retail units. Usually manufacturers call something like this an OEM/whitebox instead of refurbished.Mine looked 100% brand new, never used at all including power cord obviously still having the tight factory winding to it like it was never unfolded.Box includes router, pamphlet, ethernet cable, AC adapter, and their software on a 1GB USB flash drive, not a CD.

Since my original post, I've gotten the package & set it up. I didn't experience any of the problems I thought possible. I have a portable phone, wirelee PC, wireless printer, wireless sub & my wireless router (all within about 4 feet of each other). I haven't had any issues whatsoever with any of piece of equipment, so far. Currently the TV is connected to the net with an ethernet cable to the router, so I don't know if I ever go wireless with the TV connection, if it will present a problem.I did notice, somewhere in one of the manuals, that if a channel conflict were detected it would look for a clearer one. Again, I'm happy as can be with all facets of this setup. The TV & soundbar are unbelievable! Since my original post, I've gotten the package & set it up.

I just opened the box and saw that it's a V1. I fully expected that the V1 stock had run out from Netgear by now and they would be refurbishing V2's only. But this DealFisher must still have some old V1's to move out. So it is luck of the draw. I'm debating about keeping since that price is so low compared to new V2. And eventually, I'll upgrade one of these to a Nighthawk R6 or something that really has lot more power. It's only the farthest corner of my house that could use the Beamforming benefit. Also, I have no need of the USB 3.0 since I don't attach a hard drive or printer to these routers. I just opened the box and saw that it's a V1.

Hi Timothy,I have purchased more than a dozen FVS336Gv2 routers for my clients and also deploy them in my own offices. The v2 has a significantly stronger processer than the previous version; I wouldn't want anything else. The v2 is NOT what is in the picture; the ports are in the front and only the power is in the back. HTH,Keith Parker
