Netgear WNR2000

The Netgear WNR2000 is a wireless broadband router, which allows users to share a broadband (Cable, DSL) connection across their home or small business network. Netgear has implemented an automatic detect firmware feature in this router, which automatically checks and updates the WNR2000 to the latest possible firmware, and supports QoS, aiding in multimedia streaming across the router. The WNR2000 uses 128-bit WEP encryption and features a built-in firewall. For added security, Netgear boasts that the WNR2000 also features a double firewall. This router also takes advantage of Wireless-N technology, but is also compatible with Wireless-G and –B technologies. The Netgear WNR2000 was released June 2008, and retails for $70.

Cons:
Do you agree?
Does not support Nat Loopback with port forwarding/DMZ. ie internal devices won't have ports forwarded to the correct host, but instead will try to access the router on that port. Manually editting the hosts file is not a solution for wireless devices that may leave the network.

Port forwarding on this router seems to be a shambles, it just does NOT want to work at all and only loads the router login page, even with "Remote management" switched off, it allows remote login and remote management! It sucks as I cant access my homeserver remotely
