According to Amazon.com, NetGear routers are favorable. You can go read the reviews on amazon.com. I would like to also suggest that you read reviews for other routers as well as you may find a cheaper router that does the same thing.

Some good routers brands for internet broadband are D-link, Netgear and Linksys. To find the right router one must first decide on if they want it to be wireless on not.
I've had great experiences with Netgear wireless routers and terrible experience with Belkins. A 'Wireless-G' router is good enough for most people, but if you want more bandwidth go with a 'Wireless-N' router.
Yes and no,it really depends what your looking for. If you want,(I strongly recommend) that you get a good router that has 6 devices minimum,so it doesn't disconnect every second,or if your friends come over want to use it. My router was 75$ and it works fine. If you don't want one provided from a company, such as AT&T, get a netgear dual band router. But AT&T has a selection. If you think your paying too much,you can cancel it. But it is worth it most of the time.
It depends on what kind of network configuration you are going to choose. If you want to have just to routers with independent DHCP servers, you are good to go. If you want to create "bridge" configuration, I might have serious problems. It's well known that routers from different companies do not work well in the "bridge". When they do it's rather an exception.
If you are referring to the individual routers that netgear makes, then the dns will be whatever ip address is set as the main ip address for the individual router, generally 192.168.0.1, the netgear default. If you are looking for the dns servers that netgear uses to direct you to their website, why on earth would you need to know let alone want to know that?!? The reason you would need to know this is so you can set up a static ip, or port forwarding. so dont listen to the ignorant person above. You can obtain this by going to your routers web interface page, or calling your isp and asking for your dns, which they can tell you right away. if they ask you why, tell them you want to set up a static ip, and dont buy whatever they try to sell you after that, you dont need it.
You can get a Wireless Repeater, (AP) Access Point or Wireless Extender type device, place it in the area farthest away and it should help cover the whole house. Different manufacturers call it different names. If you want to stay with NetGear here is their version, check related links below.
Cisco makes excellent switches and hubs, but if you're a home user you may want a Netgear one.
I would not .. I have a Netgear router that has a handy WIFI on/OFF button on it . ( this is why I bought it among it having DynDNS most routers have to be unplugged to shut off . or at the very least In the router ConFig SW be enabled and disabled . ( loads of menus and a login to change it eatch time you want to connect .
g & b allows older 802.11g and 802.11b wireless stations to access this device. You might want to select this mode if you have a wireless station that is using WEP security and does not support WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK.
DLink's hubs are a bit ignored although they'll work just fine. You may want to consider a Netgear hub, however.
You do need to have a disk to install a router. Some routers do have such option but it's not compulsory. If you want to change settings for your router you need to know its IP address (check your adapter's properties). After that open any web browser you have and type in the IP address, it will bring you to the router log in page. You need to know the username and password, you are supposed to know it if you have changed it once. If you did not, use manual to find out default credentials. If you do not have the manual you can find it on the router's manufacture website.
