The WGR614 is a very attractive unit about the size of a small paperback with a silver exterior and rounded edges. An included plastic stand lets you stand the router on its edge to take up less space. The WGR614 makes it easy for even a novice to set up a wireless network: just plug the included Ethernet cable from your internet connection into the router and insert the included CD into any computer on the network, which will provide step-by-step instructions. The WGR614 employs a web-based interface for configuration, and the router will automatically do the initial setup by getting your DNS settings and determining your IP address. The firmware is also upgradeable via the web interface so you can be sure your router will always be up-to-date. Fast and Secure
Supporting the 802.11g standard, the NETGEAR WGR614 offers wireless data speeds of up to 54 Mbps, making it possible to share a broadband internet connection, stream music without hiccups, watch videos with less load time, and videoconference without problems. Downloading files is up to five times faster than it was with 802.11b. If you still have computers that use 802.11b, don't fret as the router is backwards compatible with the older wireless standard and can be set so all your computers can connect to the network and the WGR614 will automatically figure out the connection type and work accordingly. In addition to wireless access, there are four 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet ports in the back for connecting computers to the network via a faster, wired connection. The WGR614 offers many security options to ensure your data is private. Double firewall protection keeps your network shielded from outside attacks. To ensure the security of your wireless data, both 40/64-bit, 128-bit, and 152-bit (802.11g only) WEP encryption is available, as well as WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access). You can also use MAC address authentication to allow only authorized users onto the network. Keep Tabs on Kids
This router is an especially good choice for parents as it allows settings to log all sites that are visited, lets you block specific sites based on whether it contains specific keywords, and lets you set time schedules for certain computers to work. The NETGEAR WGR614 54 Mbps 802.11g Wireless Router is backed by a 1-year warranty. What's in the Box

 Bad deal on amazon August 28, 2008
Tanner D. Gadner (North Shore, Hawaii)
Great! I got the package within 2 weeks and it worked about 23%. Two ports on the router don't work and the port 3 and 4 slow down my connection. Oh yeah its not even wireless, my 2 (top of the line) Macs lose the connection every other 30 seconds. I'll think twice before I ever buy here again.

Works great, at a great price! Quick and easy installation. Don't know why it took me so long to decide to upgrade from our old 802.11b 11Mbps router.

Bought this at Wal-Mart for my cousin to set up a wireless network for him to operate his college laptop, his 360, and home PC off of. Compared to my Linksys it was heaven to setup. He is yet to call me with any connection problems and setup was 30 minutes. It has been going for 3 months strong.
 A decent G-router for the money August 20, 2008

A few weeks ago I purchased this router for a wireless connection with my Nintendo Wii. Needless to say after everything is done, it works great. However setting the router up was another story, and as a forewarning I will say that it does not complete the setup if you have a firewall or parental filter active. I had to have a friend come over and shut off my Safe Eyes filter as well as Zone Alarm so I could finish the setup. It generally takes 15-20 minutes on the average computer to finish everything. It then gives you an option to password protect and WEP your connection.
After the router is active it lets you test your browser (and yes it does work with all browsers). I then could log onto the Wii shop channel from my Wii. Download time is fairly fast, at approximately 1 minute per d/l.
Now, a few weeks into it, I notice that my internet connection frequently and intermittently drops and I must wait 10-15 minutes before it will come back. Sometimes unplugging and plugging in both the router and the modem helps but not always, nor does restarting the computer. A person just has to sit and wait it out (make a sandwich or something).
This can get irritating but in the past I have also had this happen with Linksys G-routers, though not as frequently. And it seemed with the Linksys it was always predictable as it happened late at night, around 1 or 2 AM. The Netgear will drop out whenever it wants to, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day.
So even though the performance is not perfect, it's a nice little unit, doesn't look gaudy or cheap, and the design is simple and sleek. I would rate it a 3.5. The price is decent and if you're like me you can pick it up used for a little cheaper.
I would recommend this over the Belkin routers in an instant. I've heard nothing but problems about those guys.
