Most wireless devices today, such as Wi-Fi devices, cordless phones, Bluetooth devices, microwaves, and baby monitors, operate on the 2.4 GHz frequency, creating a lot of traffic and interference. The WNHDE111, however, operates on the 5 GHz band, which has up to 23 free channels and avoids the interference from most other devices. The WNHDE111 complies with the latest Wireless-N draft specification for the fastest possible Wireless-N speeds. Automatic Quality of Service (QoS) ensures prioritization of voice, video and gaming traffic. It also supports wireless "ad-hoc" mode for wireless LAN peer-to-peer gaming and supports multicast point-to-multi-point HD video streaming. The WNHDE111 supports WiFi Protected Access (WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK), and 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption and is backed by a 1-year warranty. What's in the Box

 Great Wireless Device February 22, 2008
Matthew K. Mckune
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
Love it. I've used a wide variety of networking solutions, some bad, some good. This one is GREAT. I'm in an area with tons of wireless networks running and some of the other devices i have had have been pretty spotty. This one on the other hand runs very well. No loss of signal or dropped connections, its been good enough that i've even been running a server I use for development wirelessly.
Connection speeds have been great as well. If you have multiple public static IP addresses I recommend using the FVS124g as your router with this product.
Best wireless device i have used to date. I have used other 'N' devices that haven't been nearly as reliable.
Draw backs are that it only supports N and A. G is not supported.
 Curse of the "CORRUPTED FIRMWARE / LED BLINK" April 27, 2008
Shawn J. Davison (NOHO, USA)
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Luckily, the particular one I prchased presented me with: a Constant Once per Second BLINK from the POWER LED. The Installation Guide refers to this as a "CORRUPTED FIRMWARE" issue. You are then refered to a "Reference Manual" and given a link to Netgear Support, that's a DEAD LINK by the way. The Support Site was down for several days. (yes, I tried the site from another computer with proper internet access and the Netgear Support site was still down)
FRUSTRATION LEVEL: HIGH NORMAL
So now Tech Support would help me, no? Dialed 1-888-NETGEAR, ring, ring, ring, ring, and on and on...... Hello? Nothing. In the distance, the AP BLINKS IN GREEN ONCE PER SECOND.
Wait! The Netgear Support site is up! So let's try the search for the "Reference Manual", copying the exact name of the needed material from the Installation Guide. OK, good, hit search..... 11,000 search results, none of them involving the "Reference Manual" in question.
FRUSTRATION LEVEL: HYPERTENSION 1
So let's call that Tech Support number again.... Yes! An automated system, and here we go off to TECH SUPPORT. Or not. Somebody is talking about their lunch and mentions they need a sweater, and they hang up.
So let's try again. OK an automated system, and again off to Tech Support. This time, a good solid affirmation that I made it through.... Yes hello Raam, nice to meet you. We then get through the formalities and alas, I can tell somebody about the constant Once Per Second Blink from the Power LED.
They promptly mention they'll need to find the "Reference Manual" needed for "EMERGENCY RECOVERY" of the AP. I'm placed on hold, and then I'm informed that the "Reference Manual" is nowhere to be found. So I thank them, and hung up the phone.
FRUSTRATION LEVEL: HYPERTENSION 2
However I DID FIND the PACKAGING MATERIALS for the item, and ceremoniously unplugged the AP. If the Once Per Second "CORRUPTED FIRMWARE" Blink is still signaling, It can do so @ the FRY'S Electronics next to Burbank Airport.
Caveat emptor, Caveat emptor.......
Works Great May 21, 2008
J. Marken (Atlanta, GA USA)

While I wish these bridges had a few extra features and better admin applications, they work as advertised. I just plugged them in and had them working within minutes.
I set them up in the same room and saw data rates of 300Mbps. I then moved the bridge to its real destination, an airplane hangar in my backyard, and the signal strength is down to the 70% range and speed down to about 160Mbps, but my home LAN is still just 100 Mbps, so I'm very happy with it. I notice no difference from when I was working in the home connected directly to my home LAN with an Ethernet cable.
I have been using these devices for a couple months now and work on my computer in the airplane hangar all day long and the bridge is working flawlessly. My Internet and network access is just as good as it was when I was working in the home.
I also have a Replay TV in the airplane hangar and can watch recorded programs from another Replay TV in the house and that works just fine, and streaming video like that is a pretty high-volume network load.
These devices are working great and have allowed me to move my office out to the airplane hangar where it should be whereas with Wireless G before I was seeing data rates around 8Mbps which was not acceptable and prevented me from working where I needed to be.
Netgear support is horrible!! May 5, 2008
B. Jones (Chandler, AZ USA)
2 out of 5 found this review helpful
A very tech-savvy friend sent me one of these thinking it would connect easily to my Netgear Wireless-N router. The instructions seemed simple enough (and I'm pretty tech-savvy myself), but it didn't work. I called Netgear support and was told that these only work in pairs, so I purchased another one. Still didn't work in spite of well over an hour of "support" from Netgear. They agreed to send me a replacement (for one of them), which they did. Still didn't work. (I'm leaving out a lot of the annoyances and frustration, but I'm sure you can imagine.) I went to Fry's and purchased a kit (which contains a pair of them) and still couldn't get it to work. By this time, I've given up but it's too late to return the original purchase (>14 days). Netgear is refusing to help! If you can get their products to work yourself, fine. If not, don't bother calling Netgear. Their tech support is horrible!!
wireless access point July 25, 2008
D. Rambow (Redmond, WA United States)
This Netgear product does exactly what it is supposed to do, in a fairly uncomplicated way. I have set up hundreds of routers, switches, hubs, and wireless routers over the years. This one has just enough features to do the job, and be simple to set up.
When first connecting, it prompts you to check for new firmware, which is easily downloaded and installed. You have a switch on the back to select which type of device it is to be, in my case I needed a wireless Access Point. I plugged in a network cable from a nearby 4 port hub, which was plugged into a distant 8 port switch. I connected first though a network cable to set the security settings.
The customer's laptop, running Vista Ultimate, located the device, connected, prompted for security log-on, and that was it. My customer had a reliable connection, and could access the office network with her laptop anywhere throughout a 5000sf office (various walls, hallways, and rooms) We were using the 'N' band, WPA2 security with AES encryption. The signal was strong, and had no interference problems, even though we were in the middle of a large group of small independent offices.
