Basic Features of Netgear WNR1000 Router

The times when routers were used primarily in large corporations with huge number of PCs have sunk into oblivion. Nowadays routers are used as for business management in offices so for personal purposes at home. The demands of contemporary users towards wireless Internet connection are rather tough since no one is ready to make a compromise. Router Netgear WNR1000 can be truly attributed to the class of routers for ‘home purposes’. That is because developers have taken care not only of standard characteristics but also of additional options, specific particularly for home use (Live Parental Controls).

Integration

Standard integration of Netgear WNR1000 embraces the following components: network cord for connection with PC, impulse power supply unit, and manual. In addition, users will find a special disk with various programs which contains all information concerning the router settings, unchecked connection with the Internet-provider and parental control settings.

Design and Interface

Router Netgear WNR1000 is considered to be an affordable device and can be found on free sale for a moderate price. Despite this fact, the cabinet design speaks of the opposite: router looks stylish and smart which can’t but speak of its dearness. All faces of the router are bordered with transparent plastic insets, light indicators of operation status are located under those insets which create a specific visual effect. Wi-Fi start button and WPS fast connection button are somewhat sunken into the router cabinet.

The major peculiarity of Netgear WNR1000 interface is the division of settings inlay. The first inlay is targeted at the basic router settings, and the second one – for the advanced settings employed by experienced users. Text box of the interface has minimum graphics, however this does not prevent the user to find the necessary options and watch over the general status.

Specification and Performance Testing

Upon the whole, Netgear WNR1000 is attributed to the class of wireless, four-port single-band Wi-Fi routers which supports 802.11n Wi-Fi standards. This router is equipped with 100 megabit WAN and LAN ports and integrated antennas; WAN and LAN ports are capable to support the baud rate up to 100 megabit/second. Netgear WNR1000 supports the connection to the Internet via Ethernet which goes either with static or dynamic IP.

Nevertheless, Netgear WNR1000 is not equipped with USB port which makes the connection with various USB modems impossible.

Performance testing shows that Netgear WNR1000 is not always ready to realize its potential as the wireless device. The following parameters are taken into account while testing the router performance: WAN operation speed, Wi-Fi connection speed, Wi-Fi data transfer speed, and LAN operation speed.

WAN operation speed is accountable for the routing of the Internet while connecting via Ethernet. The speed should correspond to the rate of megabits/second which are received from provider; this is vital for the router performance to enable the downloading of the necessary megabits. Hence, it’s essential that the user should choose an appropriate Internet package issued by the provider, in order to ensure that the router performance complied with the Internet performance.

Wi-Fi connection and data transfer speed depends not only upon the router specifications, but also upon multiple external factors: the number of networked devices, distance to the router, employed standards, presence of restrictions between the router and networked devices, and some other factors. LAN operation speed corresponds to the declared figures on condition when the user’s PC performance is efficient.

Live Parental Controls

People, who worry about their children and the information they get from the Internet, will be totally pleased with the integrated parental control option. Live parental Controls program is based on OpenDNS platform and is called to filter the sites by the specified parameters. The result of the program application is seen in the restriction of access to the content of equivocal character. Live Parental Controls directly interacts with the router and this allows restricting the access to the information from any device in the network. This is regarded as the main privilege of the program. The user just needs to download and install the program on his PC (or other device which is networked with the router). Once the program is installed, it’s necessary that the user chooses the necessary parameters and enables the option.
