Netgear DGN2200 Review
The installation is quite simple but, if you are not familiar with IT, you can take advantage of Netgear Genie.
It is an app to download (both on PC and smartphone), useful not only for installation but also for monitoring all the functions of the home network, consumption, and connection (with the possibility of restarting the modem even remotely).
Signal coverage is good, although there are no external antennas, only two internal ones.
If you install it in a medium / small house, reception is optimal in every room of the house, while if you have a multi-story house, the signal may not be optimal.
Netgear DGN2200 can be used safely with any type of provider and, thanks to the 802.11n connectivity standard, it can guarantee stable and fast connections (up to a maximum of 300 Mbps).
