Rating: Summary: Easy to setup but not reliable Review: Router easy to setup. However, locks up every couple of days and requires rebooting. No incoming logs.
Rating: Summary: It doesn't get any Better or Easier than this Review: There is so much I could say about this product, but I am going to try to keep it simple: This is the BEST!Lets start by saying that it looks slick! Nice lines, non offensive and that rubber base! Totally and superb plug & play, right out of the box. Wireless features are all there and enabled by default (unlike the competition!), as well as all the additional services needed to run your small network such as DHCP. The web administration interface could use a little work, but in all it is easy to navigate and non intrusive. Great Product at an UNBEATABLE Price. Buy NOW!
Rating: Summary: Simple Setup Review: I've had this router for a few months now, hardly any troubles and setup was easy. Reception is great around my condo and thru the immediate walls. The primary reason I bought it was price. Also I have had Netgear products previously and they all worked great. Gave it four stars for design, wish it was a stackable design. And the reset button would be more convenient in the front than the back.
Rating: Summary: Great Router Review: You can't beat this router for the money. Installation for the first computer was a breeze. The second compuetr required a call to their tech support but that was not the fault of the router. It works very smoothly and the wireless feature works very well. I highly recommend this router.
Rating: Summary: good router Review: easy to install with XP. very very secure software once you set the 128bit encryption and WEP. I also bought the PCMCIA MA401 that now is fully XP compatible. excellent. did not lose the connection once in 10 hours around the house
Rating: Summary: Great Way To Get Wireless! Review: This is a great product. Within an hour I had two desktops, two laptops, and an xbox all hooked up. Installation could not have been easier. Just a couple tweaks via the browser-based router utility. Product is nice because it offers wired/wireless connections. XBox and desktops use wired and laptops are wireless via the MR804 PC card. Performance is very good. DSL connection is in second story bedroom, and wireless works fine all the way down in the basement. 5 stars!
Rating: Summary: Does not work with Dell's TrueMobile 1300 Mini-PCI Card Review: I got a Dell laptop a month ago with the TrueMobile 1300 Mini-PCI card to work with this router. After trouble shooting with their technical support for three weeks, they told me there is a known issue with this configuration and a fix is expect to come out in August 2003. I tried to return the laptop and they told me I am one day over the 30-day return policy. If their technical support would have told me earlier that it was an issue, I could have returned it earlier... So if you are shopping for a router to work with Dell TrueMobile 1300, don't buy this one. It will only give you tons of frustration with Dell's technical support.
Rating: Summary: Be sure to get the MR814v2 Review: Super easy to install. Was on the internet in less than 5 minutes. This is on sale for seventy dollars minus thirty dollar rebate, so forty dollars at Frys. Note! There are two MR814's. The "old" one: big box, loud, uses old Intersil chip, not as good reception. The "new" one is marked as MR814v2 for "version 2." This one is about half the size of the old, quiet, and uses a much more powerful chip from a new supplier, Marvell. All for the same price. You just have to check each box at the store until you find a MR814v2. I'd say at the Frys in Palo Alto, CA, that there were about 50% old ones and 50% new ones. If you can get a new one, by all means do this. You'll have a much better product for the same amount of money. Also bought the MA401, Netgear's wireless card, and it worked like a charm in the first 5 minutes. Also for forty dollars. Eighty dollars to get a complete Wi-Fi network for your home or apartment. Can't go wrong here.
Rating: Summary: Good for the price, but... Review: This is a cheap wireless router, but expect significant frustration as wireless suddenly fails after a while. It has happened to me twice already. You need to reset it by pressing & holding the little reset button in the back for at least a minute with the device powered ON.
Rating: Summary: Easy out-of-the-box use with Airport and Mac OSX Review: After an "off-the-cuff" recommendation from an Apple Store employee, I decided to purchase this Netgear router to serve as the hub of my Mac OS X wireless network. I've got two iMacs (wired) and two iBooks (wireless; airport) running through the unit. It was a snap to set up through IE browser (won't work with Safari or Camino yet). I've got it secured to give access only to a handful of wireless cards. The speed is great and I've never once needed to restart the unit. With the rebate, this is the best value out there in my opinion!
