  Duration of ownership:11 Months

  Strengths: Simple to hookup and use.

  Weaknesses: When I first got the unit, it seemed to work fine but in the last 3 or 4 months, I have had constant dropout of the wireless signal. Anywhere from a few seconds to several hours. I've played a lot of solitaire waiting for a usable signal.

  Overall Evaluation: Would not buy another Model WGR614 or recommend it to anyone. I am looking now for another router.

  Duration of ownership:1 Years

  Strengths: None

  Weaknesses: Junk. Drops connection. They never got the right firmware for it. Terrible customer service. Looks good so what?.

  Overall Evaluation: Came with the wrong firmware and I had to send it back for replacement. The postage and insurance was more than what I paid for the junk. So I paid twice. I should have gone the store and bought something else. To make the matter worse they asked for my credit card number that they would charge me if the unit was lost. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT UNLESS YOU LOVE TROUBLE SHOOTING ELECTRONIC PARTS

  Strengths: Easy set up

  Weaknesses: Non really

  Overall Evaluation: I am writing on a Netgear MR814 router that I bought in 2003. I am not a techie. My initial setup (5 years ago!) did require a call to Netgear with a simple fix and I was up and running. I've had several pc's connected to it since that time using wireless USB adapters includng MS, a Hawking, a Netgear and a TrendNet on both XP and Vista. No problems until last night when my wireless connections were inexplicably lost. Someone in the neighborhood must have gotten a new microwave or whatever.Netgear, 5 years after purchase, spent an hour with first and second level support walking me through a fix. A complimentary (!) call (with zero waiting) since I had not called before and not even a sales pitch on updating. Maybe all routers are the same and maybe an Indian accent is a little harder to follow for those of us suffering with "No Child Left Behind ;-) , but Netgear came through for me and has for five years now.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: 1. Easy to setup2. Easy management3. Broadcom based third party softwares can be ported to this board - DD-WRT, Open-WRT forum has already started working on it.4. Cheaper

  Weaknesses: 1. Not found yet

  Overall Evaluation: This is a good one for the newbies since its easy to setup and configure and as well as for the developer since it provides the freedom to choose third party software to port on it. This is good alternative to the Linksys model.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: DHCP Address reservation, WPA encryption, easy interface, firewall

  Weaknesses: Don't use too much load

  Overall Evaluation: I had this for about a year. After I added a computer (server-like) that was always on with Remote Desktop, it apparently couldn't handle the traffic on the v4 version. I upgraded the firmware but the router continuly restarts itself and won't maintain a connection for more than 1 minute for most parts of the day. It's a clean design, but the hardware seems to be lacking.

  Strengths: Looks, setup.

  Weaknesses: Quality.

  Overall Evaluation: Well it looks like yet another Netgear product of mine has died. Started buzzing (annoying!!!) about 3 days before it went completely dead. I guess Netgear is trying to save a few pennies using the cheapest parts. At lest this one lasted more than a week.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Signal strength is not bad, get full signal throughout the house

  Weaknesses: drops connection, VERY POOR tech support

  Overall Evaluation: NEVER NEVER NEVER buy this product or any other Netgear. You might as well throw you money out the window. I have had this product some time now and it has never worked correctly. Spent many hours on the phone and through email with tech support. I have problems with the device dropping connection, slow connection and no streaming capabilities (chopp video or no video) I am able to pick up an open Linksys router from several houses down with no problems. Stream media.. everything works. Netgear claims that I am having wireless interference so they will not help me! They want me to set up a site survey! I know it\\\\\\\'s not my actual internet connection because when wired it works just fine. If I had wireless interference than the open Linksys would not work. By process of elimination - Netgear is a piece of crap! Shame on you Netgear for stealing peoples Money!!
