NetGear WGR614 Wireless Router

Pros: Low cost. Small. Works once figured out.
Cons: Very hard to figure out. No instructions. Hit a snag and bummer.

I decided I needed to go wireless at home with a router, because we have laptops and the desktop but only had Internet on the desktop. This meant switching around depending on who needed to do what and when. The nice Staples guy asked if ...

Pros: Small footprint, handsome case.
Cons: Requires serious Guru if you lose the CD.

I am totally satisfied with the "touchless" use of this wireless router. It works great with both my home network, and the DSL modem/router that I use to connect to my local ISP. Specifications The specs for this router are pretty standard ...

Pros: When it works it is fine.
Cons: It doesn't always work.

WGR614 v6 I have two laptops, a desktop and a wireless video camera networked using this. I bought this because it came free with a PC and, since I was using an 802.11b router before, this seemed like an upgrade. Sometimes it works perfectly. ...

Pros: Easy of use and soft menu setup
Cons: None

While not the new N platform, and not a 108mbps router, the NetGear WGR614 provides excellent connection speed for email, and surfing for the value. I have my wireless router connected next to my desktop, and through a primary netgear router in the ...

Pros: Easy instructions Helpful Support Works as expected (for me) Freedom
Cons: Takes some time for installation

I purchased the NetGear-G in January, 2008. I purchased this at Amazon, they have an offer that if you open their charge, you get $30 off. This only cost me $10. I did do some of my research in local stores. I was told that the difference between ...

Pros: When it worked, it was very good; easy to set up and easy to configure.
Cons: Netgear's so-called "tech support" is worse than a joke.

I bought one of these on the strength of good results from an earlier Netgear purchase. It was a mistake. After 9 months in service, the router suddenly stopped connecting to the modem. I spent nearly two hours on the phone with Netgear's tech ...

Pros: Easy automatic network setup.
Cons: None (yet). I've only had it a couple of hours.

Just now hooked it up. Installation was a breeze. I exactly followed the directions and presto: Eazy peazy- networking and internet access!
Much easier and quicker to install than the recently dead 2 year old Belkin router this one replaced.

Pros: Encryption Advanced networking features Cost Ease of setup
Cons: Nothing, unless you do not follow the installation directions on the CD-ROM.

I purchased this wireless router when buying a new laptop. The installation was cake (if you follow the directions!) and the downstream performance is excellent for downloads with my Cable Internet modem. This router comes with advanced security options like SSID masking, WPA2, TKIP encryption, multiple channels, MAC address security, and various other configurations for more advanced networking. However, if you are just a student or just want a simple home network to link computers and printers together then this is the one. It uses the b/g protocols that provide up to 54Mbps download speeds over distances of 100 feet. Unless you are running something higher than T1 on your network or living in a 50,000 square foot home, there is no need for anything higher like the N protocol, so don't just throw your money away for the latest and greatest. This router is reasonably priced, has 4 ports, and is perfect for a home/ office network. Just remember to enable encryption and change your passphrase every 90 days because hackers are out there surfing the airwaves.

Pros: technically a good product.
Cons: absolutely bad design: You cannot choose the NTP sever you want. Lousy or no support.

This product works fine. I have installed more than 10 in the last 2 years.
Since a couple of weeks the routers internal clocks are out of date after a reset. Cause: it is only working with 1 Netgear Time Server which is down and seems to be gone forever.
And Netgear's support is promising to solve the problem asap. But you guess what's happening ?
NOTHING AT ALL.
