Using stock antennas and same locations. I could barely get a "fair" signal at the opposite corner of my house with the Netgear.... With the Actiontec, I have perfect or near perfect signal at that distance I'm guessing the wireless on your Netgear was pretty bad. I comparedd four different [popular] wireless routers earlier this year, and the Actiontec had the worst wireless range and throughput by a fair margin.
