Review: A great little basic inexpensive wireless router - For years and years I have been a fan-boy of the venerable but geriatric Linksys WRT-54G (hackable versions) and then the WRT-54GL (hackable) - I run either DD-WRT or Tomato in all my Linksys routers. The love affair has alas come to an end after my second WRT-54G/GL failure, and #3 isn't doing well either needing an occasional reboot. The WRT-54GL in the motorhome needed frequent reboots. The WRT-54GL in the house that I used for an access point was running Tomato and frequently needed a reboot and the speeds weren't good. A buddy of mine had good luck with the Netgear WGR614 wireless router, so I replaced the Linksys in the motorhome about a year ago with the WGR614 and had great luck with it so far. Finally I got around to replacing the house AP with the WGR614 and its performance compared to the WRT-54 is significantly better. Neither Netgear router has required a reboot. Setup of the WGR614 is very straightforward and I like the useful Help/Description of the options on the right side of the page. I am so used to the Linksys user interface (UI) paradigm I will admit the Netgear UI, and where the various options were located took a bit of study, but I quickly found my way around. You can do the usual things for access control - block by time, MAC address, IP address, block by protocol AND IP address, block by keyword and/or domain name, etc. With some time spent setting up and fine tuning access control, a parent could very effectively restrict their children's Internet experience (at least while home ;-) ) with the WGR614. One issue (okay two issues) I had is setting up the WGR614 as strictly an access point. This WGR614 is downstream of the primary Internet-facing router, so the WAN port is unused and one of the LAN ports is connected to my main house switch. I had to Google how to configure the WGR614 as a simple Access Point - I was surprised I couldn't figure that out for myself. The other minor issue is since there is since the WAN port is not in use, the WGR614 doesn't think it has Internet access when it does its check for new firmware. Not a big deal since the last issue of firmware was a year ago. Bottom line - it's a really good little wireless router if you need a product that's cost effective and you don't need wireless N speeds, Gigabit LAN speeds, multimedia, attached storage, etc. It's a basic router that works great for my use.

Review: Great, cheap access point + switch - I own two of these, one as the router using the NAT and DHCP services, the other as an access point in the front of my unnaturally long and skinny apartment. The first unit (router) is in the laundry room near the rear of the house, and works great. The second unit is in the front, giving me a very large area of coverage throughout my house and a handy switch to plug in my PC and an older network print server. Tips: 1. I am assuming you have an existing router (wireless or not) with an existing connection to the Internet through DSL or cable. 2. Log into your main router (Netgear is usually 192.168.0.1) through the Web browser. Go to the screen for connected devices or LAN setup and set a new device with a fixed IP address. For the IP address, choose a number at the top of the DHCP range for your unit (192.168.0.51 for Netgear, for example). Find the MAC address from the bottom of the new wireless router that you want to use as an access point and enter it. Give it a name and press enter. 3. Remember this IP address, as you will use it later. 4. Configure the second WGR614 by connecting it directly to a PC through one of the ports on the back of the unit (not the WAN port). Do not connect the wireless router to your network or Internet connection at this time. 5. Log into the router using 192.168.0.1 and set it to acquire its IP address and DNS dynamically (on the basic setup screen). Do not set up this router to connect to your ISP. 6. Select the wireless setup screen and set the SSID to match the SSID on your main router (usually defaults to the manufacturer's name "NETGEAR" or "LINKSYS", you get the picture) 7. Set the channel to a different channel than your main router. 1,6, and 11 are good channels. If your main router is at 6, set this one to 1 or 11. 8. Go to the network setup screen and set your IP address to the IP address you put into the main router earlier (see step 3). This will be the new way you log onto this WGR614. 9. Turn off DHCP by unselecting the radio button on the web screen. 10. THIS NEXT STEP IS CRITICAL, pay attention... 11. Using a crossover cable (Cat5 crossover, available at Radio Shack), connect the new wireless router you have just configured to your network by plugging one end of the cable into your network and the other into one of the four switch ports of the new router. DO NOT CONNECT IT TO THE WAN PORT. If you connect it to the WAN port, this configuration simply will not work. This should do it. Test it by logging onto the main router (again 192.168.0.1 for netgear) to make certain you can see it. Then try out Internet connectivity.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Decent Wireless Router for the Average User
*by A***D on October 11, 2005*

UPDATE of previous review. I now have had this router for almost a year now. I have not experienced any problems described by others stating that the Netgear WGR614 802.11g Wireless Router needs to be restarted every week (or more). Though I have had to reset the router 2-3 times in its lifetime, the error was due to the failure of my cable broadband modem (and its restart) that required me to restart my wireless router. I had a feeling that I probably did not need to restart the Netgear wireless router, but did anyway without testing if it did not need to be restarted. I still have the problem of having to broadcast the SSID when I needed to add several newly purchased computers onto the wireless network (which I previously described as a problem). Another problem that I noticed was that when I added my father-in-law's notebook to the list, the router seemed to be confused and would only allow one computer at a time to connect to the router. I never experienced this problem with all of my computers (all 8 computers wirelessly connected to this router). I was never able to troubleshoot this problem, since he now has a wireless broadband connection (Verizon, which is excellent, but an extra $60/month) and no longer needs to use my wireless router. Another new problem is that for some reason the distance has now decreased. A year ago, I was able to have a "Good/Very Good" connection in the master bedroom, which is upstairs and at the other end of the house where the router is located. Now, I have "Poor" or no connection. I cannot pinpoint any obvious differences between now and then. I had to break out my old Netgear 802.11b router (MR814) for wireless connection upstairs, which is compatible with the WGR614 router. When I connect a Linksys compact wireless router (WRT54GC) with a high-gain antenna (HGA7S) with the same laptop (as control), I have nearly a full signal in the master bedroom, so it is possible to get excellent signal. If Netgear can provide an optional high-gain antenna for this router to improve the signal, i would definitely rate this router 5 stars!!! Also, Netgear wireless routers is still incompatible with other (products') routers, both wired and wireless. I tried to use a Linksys 802.11g router for the upstairs, but killed all network connections (both wired and wireless) when I linked up to the WGR614. Neither the WGR614 (802.11g) or the MR814 (802.11b) operates with a Linksys BEFSR41 wired router, but they work quite well with the Netgear FS608 wired switch. This is something Netgear (and maybe also Linksys) has to address. For PROs and CONs, I will stick with my original list, which I included at the bottom of this review. Conclusion: This wireless router is decent, and has obvious places for improvement. I give it 4 stars only because it works as a "GOOD" stand-alone wireless router for a small-to-average size place. I would give it 3 stars if I had to include its incompatibility with other products (ie. non-Netgear), and for its decrease in functionality/signal over longer distances and through several walls/barriers. I plan to copy this review and send it to both Netgear and Linksys, so that maybe they can address the issues I've posted. *** OLD REVIEW *** Prior to this purchase, I had the wireless-b version (Netgear MR814), which worked decently, when in the same room or an adjacent room. I decided to upgrade to a wireless-g router (Netgear WGR614) for three reasons: 1) To double firewall security (NAT firewall PLUS SPI firewall) compared to MR814, 2) To increase wireless range, and 3) To increase speed/rate of computer-to-computer file transfer. Setup: The setup was relatively easy. I bypassed the setup wizard, and configured the router manually. After troubleshooting some hiccups (WGR614 is not compatible with Linksys BEFSR41 router), my working setup is that the WGR614 is directly linked to my cable broadband modem, and my MR814 uplinked to the WGR614. Overall, the setup time was about 10-12 minutes. For some reason, I have to enable the broadcast of the SSID in order for my computers to find the router. I tried to force my computers to find the router manually, but failed. This is no big deal because I also secured the router by limiting the MAC addresses who can see this router, so I can specify which wireless cards (my computers) can access the router. Login to the router is different (http address), but still works the same as previous router. Speed and Distance: There is no noticeable difference with regards to web browsing. This is not surprising, because the maximum download speed of most internet broadband providers are somewhere between 1.5-3.0 Mbps (DSL) to 4-6 Mbps (Cable). Notice I say "maximum," because the working speed is actually 60-70% of their boasted speeds. I have Comcast Cable Broadband, and although they say the download speeds are upwards of 6-8 Mbps, I have only "clocked" their speed (via Mcafee speedometer) at an average of 1.5-2 Mbps, and peaked at about 3 Mbps a few times. I've had the occasional signal drop with my HP Pavilion notebook (using the Netgear WG511 wireless-g card), but I'm not sure if it is the router or my wireless card who is at fault. I have a feeling it is on the wireless card end, because my HP Notebook workstation AND my Dell Latitude X1 have no problems with signal drop or range. It worked so well that I helped my neighbor setup the same router, but we went through the wizard, and setup went by without a glitch. He only had one laptop to setup wireless, so that made it easier. Pros: -Easy setup. -Looks clean. -Works great. -I like the "feet" that can be attached to this router so that it can stand. Cons: -Not possible (without modifications) to mount on a wall. MR814 are wall-mountable. -This router seems to be only compatible withNetgear hardware. I have a wired Linksys router (BEFSR41), which was compatible with the MR814, but not compatible with the WGR614. (I gave my Linksys router to my sister.) This is the only reason I dropped it down to a 4 star rating instead of a 5 star rating.
