NETGEAR's Cable/DSL 54 Mbps Wireless Router lets you experience the blazing-fast network wireless speeds of 54 Mbps ­ up to five times faster than the popular 802.11b wireless network. These higher speeds make it a snap to web surf, download large files, videoconference, stream high-quality digital movies, MP3 music and photos and play online games. This wireless router also works with 802.11b wireless products so you can use it with your existing 802.11b devices and your new 54 Mbps (802.11g) devices. Auto-sensing chooses the fastest connections possible on your 10/100 Mbps wide area network and four local area network ports. True Firewall (SPI) advanced security provides maximum protection from professional hackers. URL blocking and e-mail alerts provide parents with controls to limit access to inappropriate web sites and monitor children's access. Simple to install, you just follow the cues shown on your PC screen and your router will be up and running in no time. Smart Wizard auto-detects and configures for the best ISP connection, while UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) makes it easy to use your computers, gaming consoles and other client devices - wireless and Ethernet - for gaming, instant messaging, and other applications.

    Great for Mac and PC platforms

    By WilliamD  Mar 23, 2005

    Pros: Convenience

    Cons: some set up snags

    I just bought a NetGear WGR614 wireless router and a WG111 wireless USB adaptor. I bought this to allow my wife's pc laptop access to the internet in a room which has no phone/cable jacks. I also have a Mac G4 desktop. To my surprise, I was able to ...configure this router with my Mac G4, using the Safari web browser (Explorer didn't work). Setup on the pc laptop had some snags. The manufacturers website did not offer much help on my problem. After about 45 minutes, I figured it out and got the network running. The system now works great! We do not have the recommended USB 2.0 network, and are still getting great results in speed. I took the laptop all over the house, and had no problems with signal strength. I do recommend this product with the matching wireless adaptor. However, be prepared for some troubleshooting on a pc. The setup instructions sound easier than they actually are. Mac users, this is a winner! Read more Less

    By Jeffrey S  May 15, 2003 | 14 out of 17 found this NETGEAR WGR614 Wireless-G Router review helpful

    Just got my new wireless router along with a Netgear WG511 laptop card and I had them up and running in about 15 minutes. My DSL connection uses pppoe that requires a login using software called Enternet. I was skeptical about how easily the wireless... router would connect over such a system since it isnt simply an always on ethernet connection coming out of the back of the modem. But the router included an insert with a list of ISPs and a chart that showed exactly how to set your settings. I was connected on the first try and it has worked like a charm ever since. Fantastic product. I have no idea what support is like because I havent had the need to contact anyone (and dont expect to have to either.) Its great to be unleashed. Read more Less
