Don't Buy This Router!
Don’t buy a Netgear WNR854T Wireless-N Router! I’ve had mine for over a year and apparently that is lucky. This thing works great when it works but the issues and problems have continued.

Plus it has very nice editing features including pictures for uploading. Not sure how it will work with blogger so we will see how it turns out. One thing to be aware of is make sure you...
