Netgear MR814 802.11b Wireless 4-Port Cable/DSL Router – Customer Reviews
Acceptable for the price paid
-
I got this router around 2 years ago (v2 version) and it worked pretty well most of the time.There were occasions when it would just stop working, and it took multiple reboots of the router and cable modem to get things going right again; fortunately this was pretty infrequent.When I moved and changed to another service provider, this router just would not work right.Nothing I tried would fix the slow and almost nonexistant connection it gave me; I ended up replacing it.

Can't deal with the timeout issue
-
With my ssh connections into my home system and chess club connections, I'm timed out after some period of time around 5 minutes.I did not have this issue when my pc was connected directly to the highspeed cable bridge.I liked netgear products in the past but this issue is a little more than annoying.

Horrible router DO NOT buy!!
-
I've had the router for a little over four months. It constantly freezes and has to be rebooted or hard started. If you try online gaming it stops about every couple of hours. Tried my DSL without the router and it works great. Take a little advice if your looking for a wireless router and are considering Netgear, KEEP LOOKING!!

not broken yet, but close to it ...

My experience with netgear products are good, but with this box, it seems that I get disconnected a lot, which is not the case when I had my D-Link AirPlus DI-614+. Too bad I downgraded. Just thought a new router would be better, but it isn't.

Was great while it lasted
-
I bought this router sometime in 2002 and it worked great since then without any problems.I found it easy to set up and configure.A couple days ago, the wireless portion of the router failed.I still have a wired connection, but my wireless network is now gone. I have 3 wireless devices that use my network and they all report a loss of signal. Nothing in the browser-based router setup/configuration/status screens indicates anything is wrong with the wireless.A couple hours of troubleshooting has taken me nowhere. So, I guess these things don't last forever!4 years wasn't bad for what was at the time a very affordable router, and I'm satisfied.
