There are only the Tenergy batteries that are certified by Netgear. Anything else is up to your own discretion. I have some Ultrafire batteries that are 880mAH and I reckon that's probably about right but anything more than that, I suspect are cheap Chinese fakes. I doubt you can really get 1500-2500mAH into a CR123A battery. Beware of buying batteries from eBay

as above;

you physically just can't get more than about 750mahr of chemicals in a 123 sized object

Early on I used some cheap 2000+mAH batteries. As we learned things, they went into Home Depot's recycle bin. No sense in taking chances.
