The Netgear DGND4000 (WiFi DSL Modem Router - Premium) is an excellent router as such. Unfortunately it has a few issues that Netgear has no intention of fixing:

  • It forces all DNS requests to go through the routers own forwarding service. Caching of requests is disabled ($$ business feature $$), so only effect is that every DNS request takes longer to complete.
  • Number of concurrent connections (nf_conntrack_max) is set relatively low (compared to the routers hardware capacity)
