Product 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 surf the Web, 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. It's 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.

 No sweat setup January 5, 2008

Router setup and config was simple, staight-forward and quick.
Multiple options for wireless security was a pleasant surprise. Ability to use a passphrase which generated the wireless access code is always a plus.
While signal strength seemed a bit low, the coverage is more than sufficient for our needs.
Overal, a great buy.

I bought this item as a Christmas gift for my in-laws, and after they went to bed on Christmas Eve, I set it up for them. From unwrapping the box to accessing the internet wirelessly took about 1o minutes. They have had no problems with the hardware, and love being wireless at home. I'm about to order another one for myself, to replace an unreliable older Linksys model. What better product review is there than a repeat customer?
Perfect! March 24, 2010

got to replace a d-link that forgot the ip address and impossible to fix. this netgear was super great! came with a disc and was super easy to set up. absolutely perfect, can program who can access the wifi, signal sometimes fluctuates but still works throughout the house. all in all awesome product.
Unbelievably GREAT customer service August 18, 2010

First off let me say the review is of the NetGear WGR614 V5 (old old old model--they are now on version 10!). We recently moved, and having given our more recent NetGear router to one of our kids who went off to college, we found ourselves fishing through boxes of old computer gear to get set up wirelessly again. We found this dinosaur and decided to see if it would work with Vista and/ Windows. Set up was quick an efficient and wonder of wonder IT WORKED! The problem was slow internet speeds -- it was streaming youtube videos very poorly. So on a whim I contacted NetGear customer support--thinking that they would just have me trash the thing and go buy a new one. I spoke with Ray - we were on the phone for >45 minutes! He was incredibly patient and was able to completely resolve the slow speed problem-even though my router is more than 5 years old!!! (and obviously completely out of warranty!) Ray was able to reconfigure the router and update the firm ware and in effect saved me $50!! Apparently NetGear has a policy of one courtesy tech support call per customer - since I had never used this benefit, I was eligible. I am very grateful and will ONLY buy NetGear in the future. Thanks for the awesome customer service Ray! It is so rare these days. Lawrence, Kansas City, Missouri
 died after a year and netgear couldn't care les August 19, 2010

Netgear knows this router has a horrible problem where after a year it will just have to be constantly rebooted. They don't care and they will not help you. I had been a very long term customer ... not anymore.
