Product Details of Netgear WGR614 Wireless G Router

Description

NETGEAR's Cable/DSL 54 Mbps Wireless Router lets you experience the blazing-fast network wireless speeds of 54 Mbps ­ up to five times faster than the popular 802.11b wireless network. These higher speeds make it a snap to web surf, download large files, videoconference, stream high-quality digital movies, MP3 music and photos and play online games. This wireless router also works with 802.11b wireless products so you can use it with your existing 802.11b devices and your new 54 Mbps (802.11g) devices. Auto-sensing chooses the fastest connections possible on your 10/100 Mbps wide area network and four local area network ports. True Firewall (SPI) advanced security provides maximum protection from professional hackers. URL blocking and e-mail alerts provide parents with controls to limit access to inappropriate web sites and monitor children's access. Simple to install, you just follow the cues shown on your PC screen and your router will be up and running in no time. Smart Wizard auto-detects and configures for the best ISP connection, while UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) makes it easy to use your computers, gaming consoles and other client devices - wireless and Ethernet - for gaming, instant messaging, and other applications.

Netgear WGR614 Wireless G Router

Strengths: Easy setup, good performance, good feature set

Weakness: Unreliable, terrible support

I've now installed three WGR614v3 and one WGR614v4 routers. The first (a WGR614v3) worked perfectly -- it was so easy I didn't know what to do and it worked well. I bought two more -- and also got v3 models even though the website suggests that v4 and v5 were already in the field. That might have been for the best since the one v4 router that I tried seems deficient. I only had problems with one...

Netgear WGR614 Wireless G Router

Strengths: It routes the internet connection just fine over the built-in four port switch.

Weakness: Whenever I enable wireless funcionality the router stops forwarding packets to the internet. I am unable to even ping outside IP addresses. This problem occured with the newest firmware also.

I am so incredibly dissatisfied with this product that it inspired me to register a Pricegrabber account just to complain about it. I exchanged it for the SMC Wireless Barricade router and the signal was better and the router worked just fine, with all the same features as the Netgear.

Netgear quality down

Strengths: Cheap, looks good

Weakness: features way below competitors, no WPA-2

I used to have lots of netgear products and was satisfied by their quality in the past as they were above the competitors, so when I looking a new access point, I figured I would buy a netgear. Well it is a disappointment as features wise for it does not offer WPA-2 security as the others do, second the features are below the competitors, and third even though the router looks good it is cheap...

Netgear WGR614 Wireless G Router

Strengths: I have Version 2 of the unit. Has a great feature set which is what attracted me to this router. I also had great experience with a previous Netgear router.

Weakness: Constantly having to power-cycle the router. It just fails to route traffic after a while. No firmware upgrades since mid-year.

I will not buy another Netgear router. From what I've seen, Linksys has gotten its act together so I'll give them a try. A friend of mine has reported the same type of problems with his, though he has only two computers routing through his. We have nine and have to power-cycle the router more often than he does.

Netgear WGR614 Wireless G Router

Strengths: Can work fairly well for days at a time.

Weakness: Gives pings of 500+ sometimes in the 1000's (of milliseconds) when connected to a Cable modem ! * ! * ! BAD

I haggled with Comcast on many occaisions about the cable connection I had. We finally narrowed the problem down to the Netgear WGR614. I swapped it twice for brand new ones (=3 brand new 614's). I've had numerous detailed discussions with the technical support people. Bottom line--even trying every possible trick they could come up with, the ping eventually goes unacceptably high (if you're a...

What a nice looking piece of equipment!

Strengths: Low profile, sleek, great packaging, nice techy color.

Weakness: Works well when it works! Technical support (Punjab support) is outragously horrible!

I've been using the 614 w/DSL for 2 months now and previously used the 614v2 for 10 months. The 614v2 died after 6 months, and the WGR614 died after 2 months. Both had LONG hardware warrantees, and a very short "Software" warrantee. Both failures were hardware related failures. The 614v2 failed to communicate with the DSL modem and would not "Hard reset" from the external reset button. The WGR614...

Netgear WGR614 Wireless G Router

Strengths: Compatibility, Ease of installation, Speed & signal strength reliability

Weakness: None

I replaced a Linksys WRT54G that would not work with our network, with the Netgear WGR614 and all of my problems were solved. With the WRT54G, the wireless network worked, but the wired did not. With WGR614 everything works and the signal is stronger on a more reliable basis than the WRT54G. I highly recommend the Netgear. By the way, my father and I (both electrical engineers, for all of you...

Netgear WGR614 Wireless G Router

Strengths: Looks cool. Good price.

Weakness: Does not work with Motorola cable modem. Does not include print server connection.

I was able to get the router to send out IP addresses on my home network to both Macs and Windoze machines, but it never was able to establish internet service with my Motorola Surfboard SB5100 cable modem (this is the only cable modem sold at WalMart, so I presume it is quite common, and was bought within the year). I called tech support, and the Indian accent was only a problem for one word...

Netgear WGR614 Wireless G Router

Strengths: Great price, especially with rebate

Weakness: Intermittent network connect failure required numerous reboots/power-cycles.

I bought this based on the low price and familiarity with other netgear equipment that had worked for me in the past. Setup wasn't too bad (The Access List interface wasn't obvious, but a tech support guy from Bombay walked me through it with no problems), but subsequently, the internet connection through the router would die. Sometimes it required a power-cycle of the router, sometimes it would...
