Summary: This can of sardines is GREAT
Review: Aight...this thing is jst AWESOME. 10 min and i'm up and running. Much better than the Linksys ones I used before, which require waaaay too much effort and are jst plain ugly. With this one, i plugged the cables in (my and my sister's comps) and then restart them, went to WinXP Network wizard, restart, boom. I'm up and running. My sister was more than happy. The can of Sardines is the best wired router I have used. It's worth the money, especially at this low price.

Summary: not bad, but could be better...
Review: I ordered mine after some exhaustive Internet research on all the other routers in the same price range on the market today. Two weeks later, mine allows me to share cable internet but not share files and printer between our two PCs. In fact there is NOTHING in the otherwise excellent documentation and setup help manual & CD ROM that even touches upon this aspect of the router. Therefore one is left with the unenviable task of trying to figure it out through Windows' [bad] Help files. Methinks the reviewer who said he had this router up and running 3 minutes out of the box must be either: 1. already a techno-geek well versed in the black arts of PC-land, or 2. working for Netgear! Lastly, the included "Freedom" Internet Security software is basically useless. You're much better off with Norton's Internet Security or even ZoneAlarm. Sadly though, compared with other similarly priced routers, the RP614NA actually shines!

Summary: Excellent router
Review: Purchased this router through Amazon on a Saturday and got on Tuesday. At the time I bought this router there was a [$$] rebate promotion going on so I was able to get this at a very good price. I had thought about getting a Linksys router but had read about so many problems people were having with it, such as, unable to configure, humming noises coming form the unit, poor customer service, and only a 1-year warranty! I hooked up this Netgear RP614 to my PCs, one using Windows 98se, the other with Windows XP Pro, and didn't even have to use to setup wizard, they were configured and running right after I rebooted them. Now all I have to do is install my access point to this router and I will be able to roam throughout my house checking email and viewing webpages once I get new PDA with Wi-Fi wireless. This has to be one of the easiest add ons I have ever installed on my system. I highly recommend this router for anyone that wants a non-problematic install. And Netgear offers a 3-year warranty, too!

Summary: EASY.. POWERFUL.. EXCELLENT VALUE
Review: If you don't want to plunk down $$$ for a NetScreen firewall appliance, and the NetGear FVS318 is too much VPN... the the 614 is for you.. WARNING: you have to be severely clueless for this not to work for you... NetGear makes SOLID gear. If you need VPN site-site then step up one model set. If not, buy this and be TOTALLY SATISFIED.

Summary: Almost too easy to use
Review: This has to be one of the easiest and most successful peripherals I have ever hooked up. The set-up took only a few minutes per computer, and I now have three machines (each on a different version of Windows: 95, 98, and XP) running smoothly as a network. All computer experiences should be this easy!

Summary: No problems - yet
Review: Got the router and set it up. The set up was easy and the instructions were very simple. Three days after the initial set-up my connection was lost. I could get connected by directly connecting with the modem, but not with the router. I was about to return the router. I then went into the router set-up (http://192.168.0.1 it is all in the instruction book) and told the router to use my network card MAC address. Everything worked again. It seems that cable companies scan thier network. If the MAC address associated with your account changes, they cut you off. Lucky that this router can read my NIC mac address and then create an alias.

Summary: Could Not Get RP614NA to Renew IP Address
Review: Unfortunately, I did not have much luck with this router. It seemed to work fine until the IP address dynamically assigned by the ISP (RoadRunner) expired. The router was being assigned an IP address with a 1 day lease using DHCP. After the lease expired, I would have to re-boot the router. I also could not get the port forwarding to work. These problems could have been user error, but I worked with NG tech support and we could not resolve the issue. I returned it and purchased a Linksys BEFSR41 and it has worked great.

Summary: great router, set up couldn't be simpler
Review: A great router and set up took less than 5 minutes. It was easy to set up and I never lost connectivity during setup. No changes were necessary to my TCP/IP setting on my iMac. I couldn't be happier.

Summary: Hook up and Go
Review: I was a little nervous about a home network. Besides sharing my internet connection, I need to be able to use it to telecommute using my company's VPN. I cabled it up and it worked. I've started with my main PC and a docking station for my laptop from work for now. I have a couple of Homeplug bridges to hook up so I can move around the house with the laptop, but I need to get a cross-over CAT-5 cable first. I didn't even have to put the CD in!
