Advantages: Works great Disadvantages: Beware it has only Ehternet port, there is no USB port
...Price
******
I purchased my Netgear Router some 4 months when I was in the US from www.circuitcity.com. At that time the price was something like 79 USD now after all the mail in rebates the price is only 29 USD in the same place. The price in UK for the same product is around 52 to 60 GBP. Almost double, so it makes sense to buy these small things when you are on a Visit to US :).
Installation

I thought all I had to do was to plug ... ...modem which I was using was having only a USB cable. So when I changed my broadband to Blueyonder, I ensured that I got a modem which has an ethernet cable. So after I got my new motoral modem from blueyonder I plugged in the cable into my router which had one port specifically mentioned for internet. It took some time for me to figure out that the first time I had to connect the ethernet cable also from the router to my laptop and that would fix ...

Advantages: Affordable and reliable Disadvantages: Difficult to set up
...purchase was the "starter kit" Netgear WGR614 Cable/DSL 54 Mbps Wireless Router, from Argos. I paid £56.99 for it as of early August 2008. Note that I did not buy the router on its own; Argos offered in this starter kit a USB adapter or "dongle" as I shall refer to it from now on. This is essential for setting up a wireless network, as it allows the router to send information from your modem to the computer you are trying to get internet on. Most ... ...so do not need one of these. Desktops however will usually need a dongle.
Argos listed the specifications as follows:
* Starter kit including a wireless 54Mbps cable router and USB adapter.
* Speed 54Mbps.
* Range 100m (speed and range indication will vary due to environmental and other factors).
* Built-in firewall.
* WEP and WPA security built-in.
* 1 external antenna.
* Compatible with 802.11b/g wireless standards.
* 4 Ethernet ports.

I had recently bought a second laptop for my wife and needed a wireless router badly so that both of us could access internet simultaneously and wirelessly.
So i searched around for a decent reliable router. i came across this one and bought it from amazon for 30 quid.
It supports 802.11b and 802.11g. It has 4 wired ports so that 4 computers can be connected simultaneously. It doesnt have a USB port. Setup : it came with the setup CD and it took ... ...I have a Virgin broadband connection so had to connect this router to the modem supplied by virgin. A ethernet wire is provided with this kit. Had no problems at all with the setup.
The installation needs to be done with the computer wired to the router. Also configured the router settings after logging into the router.
Remember to change the admin password of the router!!! So within half an hour all my setup was done. i had configured the wireless ...

Advantages: Stable, Good Range, Fast. Disadvantages: None.
I primarily bought this router to connect to cable broadband (virgin media) and to get my Nintendo Wii online, it was very easy to set up, just a case of following the on screen instructions on the CD, it took about 15 minutes in all, i am an average computer user but it was so easy pretty much anyone could get it up and running. There are various security settings to keep your connection secure and the it seems very stable indeed, i have not had ...

Advantages: Easy to set up and use Disadvantages: May have speed issues until firmware upgrade
The Netgear WGR614 uses the standard 802.11g and can deliver speeds of up to 54 Mbps. It is a delight to setup using the smart wizard option and very easy to use. You can get it from most electrical or computer retailers. It is compatible with all 802.11g and 802.11b wireless cards and networks
It allows you to set up your own wireless (cable-free) home network so that you can share your cable internet and printing facilities with other computers ... ...The benefit of using a Netgear device is that the help and support provided covers most of the questions and problems you may experience. If you buy an early version of the router you can easily upgrade the firmware to the latest release.
The only problem i have had with this router was that my internet went of and i tried for three days to get it back on, i found out that the firmware needed upgrading on the router. So always make sure you check ...

...but one short call to Netgear and that was all sorted out. If you don't have laptops with built in wireless capability I would recommend getting the compatible wireless adapters from Netgear, these also are installed very easily. Even though one of our laptops is a Mac, this didn't cause any problems.
Security was also an issue to me, however after talking to Netgear they advised me how to change some of the default router passwords to specific ...

...for reply. I have used netgear products before and never had any problems with them before. The router does feature full 54 mbps for Ian over Wireless and also has four wired ports for connection to the device. It also features all of the latest wireless security technologies the admin setup page is also easy to use and setup security functions. If netgear can sort the problem of it resetting then the product is good value for money. ...
