Oh and make sure you have changed your default password.
And if you enable remote management, move it off 80 and/or 8080.

Experience is that admin passwords for netgear seem to be a bit sticky. Having changed it, I discovered on one that the default still worked for a remote connection.

Netgear boxes can also be a bit of a bottle neck. Some of them are only capable of 11Mb/s throughput (lan<->wan) despite having Gbit interfaces etc. so not much use on high speed networks. But on the plus at least netgear tend to publish their throughput rates. and support AES 256 encryption etc.
