Technical user device I am in a Network Admin so the network setup was a snap (both wireless and wired)
BUT...Nothing worked. Every media format I tried to play would give me the "media format is not supported" message. Image files would not display and mp3's would not play. Even after several cold reboots.
I registred on the forums and downloaded the latest Beta firmware and DEW and installed both.
Finally it started to work. Most of my AVI files (MJPEG from a digital camer...

Pros: It has many features, has potential.

I know I am asking for trouble, but I have a friend that wants to mess with this, so I let him give it a try. I have 3 ...

| | | Mine was DOA I really wanted to like this unit but mine was essentailly DOA. I spent several hours with Netgear tech support and it wouldn't read networked files nor files from a usb stick directly plugged into the unit. Many other reviews which I have read note Quality Control issues on these units and unfortunatly mine was one of the bad ones too. Netgear tech support gave me a case number and I was able to return mine to Amazon so in the end I just wasted a few hours of my time; if you buy one be sure to ...

Cons: Has built in wireless, but limited to Wireless-G, which is virtually worthless for video streaming - should have Wireless-N; Crashes a LOT; forget 1080p, even 1080i AVCHD can hardly play, which means you must tr...
