I bought my WN300RP locally, brought it home and did the WPS setup. All the proper lights on the unit lit up so I thought I’m done. When I tried to connect my netbook through Wifi - I couldn’t connect. I tried connecting through the Ethernet Port - same problem. I tried going to the Netgear web site to get the user manual listed in the Install manual, but none exists. I also noticed that the on/off button no longer functioned. I then did a factory reset and started a manual install from Wifi. I was greeted with a wizard on my browser and set up the unit without any difficulty. Again all lights were indicating success, but I could not connect Wifi or Ethernet. Just to be sure I also tried setup from the Ethernet port with same results. I took it back and got a refund! If this is the product that Netgear is sending out, I’ve lost confidence in buying their product!
