Conceded, I have only had the device a day, but either it works or it doesn't, right? Set-up was pretty straight-forward following along with the wizard, which I didn't need, but made things easy...
The wireless signal range on this netgear is twice that of the D-link DI-624 I had before. The signal reaches my laptop across double brick walls from one corner of the house to the backyard...
"Deceptive beauty by a sneaky company (BBB-rated "F")"
The router has good signal strength and range -when it works. When it does not, most of the time, you deal with TERRIBLE technical support and TERRIBLE customer service. Worse: the company acted...
Features and Design With all the hype over pre-N hardware getting yanked from shelves, the current top-of-the-line routers offer MIMO (multiple-input, multiple-output) technology. Two major...
Pros: Good range, supports my xbox live well, Cons: setup cd sucked The only problem I have had with it at all is setting it up. It took us about 2 hours. I agree with the guy that said go to...
I replaced a broken Linksys WRT54G with this thing, touted by the Best Buy guys (and CNET) as a pretty fast router. It's not. Even the one computer in my house that was hardwired to the router...
Was great for a year. My son got a Mac Book Pro for college and once he used the IM program, port forwarding no longer works. I have a Linksys NAS unit with a built in FTP server that also has a...
For most casual and demanding users, the Netgear RangeMax Wireless Router is an all-around excellent option. The adaptive internal antennas that compensate for interference provide great...
This particular model is great. Right now I have three, one as an access point and two as clients for XBOX and HTPC. If I ever need another client Ill buy this model for sure. Search for WGT624...
This router is easy to set up and works great. But every now and then it drops the connection between the computer and the router if you are inactive. When you put your computer on standby it's not...
The Netgear WGT624 108Mbps wireless firewall router is a good example of the advantages and disadvantages of bleeding-edge technology. It offers nearly double the throughput of standard 802.11g...
It's a sign of the times that 802.11n has taken so long to limp towards ratification that there is a fair amount of Draft-n hardware on sale that is getting rather long in the tooth. That's not to...
Pros: Wireless range Cons: Price, Low quality I've used Netgear products for years and purchased this router when I found I needed to increase the range of my wireless connectivity, even though it...
Pros: Easy to use, compatibility, automated set up. Cons: Price, I use it with comcast cable and it was so easy to set up. I heard that many routers can't handle well comcast, but this one it did...
Everyone else seems to keep saying it resets itself or they cant figure it out or something... This was my first router to own personally and I had no problem setting it up. It works further than I...
"WGR614v7: Robust feature set for home, but unreliable"
*** This review applies only to version 7 of the product. Check the model label on the package; if it does not say WGR614v7, then this rating does not apply. *** THE GOOD: This router is compact,...
So far my router's been working great. Main uses is for direct connection to my computer and xbox 360 and wirelessly conected to my laptop and whoever else wanted to connect to my laptop. I think...
Editors' note: Netgear has released a firmware update that adds support for WPA-PSK. You can download the update from the Netgear support site. (5/3/04) With the WGR614 router, Netgear applies its...
This is a pretty good unit. Our company uses these units to maintain a VPN connection between offices, and to our clients. They always seem to do a great job keeping a connection... It seems we...
BEWARE - Used to love it until I got a faster internet connection
I have had this for years (the v3), it has run solid as a rock. Setting up static IP routes for Network storage and network printers is a breeze, I used reserved IPs for almost everything on my...
This router is nothing but slow. If you look at Netgears website and the technical specifications, which aren't listed on the box. This router supports a maximum LAN to WAN throughput of 12.5Mbps...
I love this Netgear Unit not only does it power my wired pc but it powers my laptop, my sisters laptop my Xbox 360, Nintengo Wii, PSP and my blackberry and it works like a charm. It is really easy...
"After 6 months, no problems, no dropped signals."
I really don't know the technical background of the reviewers, however mine is NOT network oriented. I found this unit works very well for my needs when I used the recommended Netgear Wireless N...
Initially cautious about buying 'refurbished'. Order placed 3/25/2009, Router arrived on time, shipped from Illinois; interesting, I had called earlier to make sure that I wouldn't be missing some...
One way to nab a good budget 802.11n router is to buy a formerly high-end model that has come down in price. Even if it is dated, we like the design of the WNR834B, which sits vertically on your...
This router never did ID my modem which is throug Time Warner. It also destroyed my internet connection so badly, I spent an hour with Time Warner Tech Support to have a new IP issued. Customer...
It gets the job done, great firewall and traffic filter, not much more.
This router did a fair job. I frequently used it for Xbox Live/Playstation Network/online multiplayer games. I also frequently streamed extremely large media files across network as I have a...
Editors' note: Netgear has released a firmware update that adds support for WPA-PSK. You can download the update from the Netgear support site. (5/3/04) With the WGR614 router, Netgear applies its...
This is the first wireless router I have used, and I relied on the saleman's recommendation when I bought it. I spent one tedious hour getting it set up. After that, it has been a joy. I have been...
Netgear does make good stuff, but the WNR834 is definitely a lousy product. I always have issues with connection, it definitely doesn't have the range it advertises, and signals always drop down...
Having set up wireless routers in the past, I was able to get this one up and running pretty quickly. However, if you have never done it before, look somewhere else. The set-up "Wizard" is not...
It's a sign of the times that 802.11n has taken so long to limp towards ratification that there is a fair amount of Draft-n hardware on sale that is getting rather long in the tooth. That's not to...
I upgraded from a Linksys 802.11b wireless router to this model. Setup was a snap, and I get a 3X increase in download speed to my home PC connected via wire (not a wireless connection) over my...

Just over 6 months and mine failed as well. According to Netgear technical support the problem is with the original firmware, and is not a hardware issue. Although I did wait on hold for some time,...
Works just like advertised! A virtual plug-n-play operation. Plug into your router, plug the other one into that "dead spot" in your house, and you have a "wired" connection to the internet....
No brainer to install except that it doesnt like to be put on a surge protector or battery backup. This means that they will be susceptible to being zapped by power spikes and then need to be...
While the premise, ELECTRICAL connection, should work throughout an entire electrical network regardless of how big one's home is, this theory doesn't work. The booster device is simple: after...
Pros: same type of setup as other wnr models Cons: disconnects all wireless connection randomly I've had this router for abut two months setup was easy walked through setup and wireless setup....
I have 2 fvs 114; a little heavy traffic locks up the unit. Don't buy it. Usinf Remote desktop to two sites after and hour the unit stop responding. Cannot even http to the unit. Their (netgear)...
I'm a professional and have been using IPSEC solutions for about 5 years now. I needed a small-bus solution to connect two offices with dynamic addressing. Had to trade AES for 3DES but the setup...
"Good, reliable router. Use of VPN firewall is difficult."
I use this box to provide a LAN for my home computers, and to connect to Cable modem for internet. It works very well. The installation is reasonably straightforward. The only feature it is...
For the price this is a very good unit! So many folks have 3G cards and this is really a great way to use your card to supply internet and networking. I originally purchased it to put up in a...
I BOUGHT THIS PRODUCT AT BEST BUY I WOULD NOT SUGGEST THIS TO ANYONE. I HAD TO REPLACE 2 OF THESE WITH NETGEAR AND THE CUSTOMER SUPPORT IS REALLY FRUSTRATING BECAUSE THERE FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY. DO...
Set up was a bit unclear. When you get to the network set up the default login is admin and the password is password. I had to do some digging to find that before I could continue set up. Once...
I bought this router in 2006 and it's working fine. I have 3 computers and i don't have any problem connecting between them and with the internet connection.
"Easy Set up. Perhaps better range with some Tweaking."
The range problems I have could be from the old plaster walls,steel, brick and wiring in my apartment or leaving the channel selector on auto...but going about 45 ft. down a hallway and a few walls...
I purchased this product less than 6 months ago. I have had nothing but problems with it, after hours of techsupport with Netgear it finally up and died after following Netgears techs instructions....
While researching this product, I found many, many negative reviews. But, in the end, being able to get a Netgear VPN, firewall, router and wireless capability for 100 dollars less than buying the...
I ordered this router to replace a WGR614 as my network was upgraded to include a server. Surprise surprise! It wouldn't accept admin logins from IE7 or Firefox on a computer running XP and IE7....
Bought this last year. haven't got it to work for more than 2 days before it locks up. You then have to leave it unpluged for days to get it back up and running. Tech support no help nor firmware...
Bought this ''re-certified'' router in Sept, 2007. Only paid $44 with the shipping. Installation was a snap. Had just a few resets in the past 15 months. Performance was excellent, including...
For most casual and demanding users, the Netgear RangeMax Wireless Router is an all-around excellent option. The adaptive internal antennas that compensate for interference provide great...
This router is perfect for home and small businesses! I have been using this router for a number of years and have had reliable network connectivity since! The range can be limited but seems to be...
Because of the oftentimes finicky nature of getting Windows designed routers to work properly with Linux systems, Netgear's WGR614L G-Band wireless router is a terrific (and well priced) hardware...
The product is labeled as Model: WGR614L-100NAS, but the box contains Model: WGR614v9 which is NOT the WGR614L. It is the latest version of the Model: WGR614NA.
Pros: Blazing fast, I can go anywhere in a 2 story house Cons: Hard to set up, terrible compatibility, even worse tech support/customer service If I would've known setting up this router...
Pros: Features were good. Signal strong. Cons: Not reliable and poor firmware resolution. II don't know what is wrong with it. It used to be alright, but now it has to be reset whenever my...
Pros: fast, easy to set up, long range Cons: poor tech support based in India I got one of these, had all kinds of odd trouble. Then I found out the problem wasn't the router but my older...
It no longer works. When I tried to reinstall, the reinstall messed up both of my computers. I had to hardwire to my desktop to get back online. Support wanted $69 to solve the problem. I suggested...
I'm glad I bought the Netgear WNDR 3300 and I don't see anything better out there in this price range. Updated on Oct 10, 2009 My first review on this product was premature. After more testing I...
Great Price! It works. Lots of bells and whistles. Signal strength significantly lower than my Pre-N Belkin, but everything works. Bottom Line: I am satisfied
A dual-band wireless router can be beneficial if you live in an environment where there is interference from many wireless networks, as this can significantly slow down fast devices over long...
It does what wirless is bad at: travelling through the walls
Despite the convenience of wireless connections, people sometimes prefer wired ones for they are more reliable, faster and will not raise any health concerns. For the exact reasons, I bought three...
I got a pair of these several months ago but I had issues getting them to work reliably. I am in a house built in 1981. With certain outlets the pair would not work at all. With others it was...
Pros: Seemingly Easy to install Cons: Doesn't always work I installed the device according to instructions (along with software), but internet connections worked only the first day. After that,...
"Weak Parental Control, Very difficult to configure."
I tried the Netgear WNR2000 as I was using the iBoss Parental Control and was looking for an N router so thought I would try this. After installing, I found it very difficult to set up. After...

If you're looking for a router that's solid, simple yet flexible and powerful and with decent range you can't go wrong with this router, especially with it's price.
This router was a pain to use from the beginning, caused hassles with my VPN, but worked well enough I didn't want to take a chance on taking it back to the store and buying something that turned...
Router works awesome. Setup was a little difficult. I did not like that I could not do the setup unless it could detect the internet. But since it has been set up it works very well and I have not...
The rounter works very well; and worth the cost. But, to be able to use it be prepared to spend lots of time on the phone to India getting it working. The customer service people were very...
