Query: FLASH IN THE PAN

Bought the router/laptop card kit in August 2004, began having problems with it in early December. By mid-December it was completely dead. After reading reviews by others I decided not to pursue warranty remedy, but, instead, threw the router and card in the trash and bought a Belkin Pre-N router and card instead. Netgear warranty states for one year you "may" receive a "re-furbished" product as a warranty exchange. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that means they have a high rate of returns. After one year? Sorry, buy a replacement item. Belkin has a lifetime warranty; buy it once.
