Netgear MR814 Wireless Router Product Details

Best Price Ever!
3-in-1 Router, Switch and Wireless Access Point
Securely Share Your Cable/DSL Internet ­ With of Without Wires!

When you connect your cable/DSL modem to the Netgear Wireless Router, you'll enjoy wired or wireless Internet access for all your computers and be assured of protected communications on your home or small office network! This 3-in-1 Router + Switch + Wireless Access Point is a base station that allows you to share your Internet connection, files and printers with other computers on the network.

Your communications and network are secure from hackers and wireless eavesdroppers because they're shielded with Network Address Translation (NAT) Firewall. Internet activities are always safe because Web-address filtering gives you control over any contact network users have with Web sites. Not only that, there's also a free, full-version of FreedomTM Personal Firewall software included (for 8-PCs, a $240 value) to block ads, manage your passwords, and prevent applications from sending your personal information over the Internet. And thanks to the unique Smart Setup Wizard, you'll install this router with ease.

I have had this router for a year now and love it. The only reason i give it a 4 is that it needs a better antenna. I have it hooked to a good one now.

I bought this to use as a WAP. It can easily be configured and admin'ed from the browser and just be configured as a WAP only. I use it to share the one network connection they give me at work. I use it to transfer files to my laptop and to provide internet access for my laptop and for my co-worker's in the cube a few cubes over. We do a peer to peer over it to transfer files between us. Works great. The range is great. I can get about 50% signal all the way across my factory and in our conference room that has to be 150 - 200feet away from the MR814. This is through many walls and past two electronic labs with gear running.One of the VPs has an SMC WAP in his office, doenst get half the range through the building.I'm a blue metal box Netgear fan, but this consumer model works great.Recommended.

I have had nothing but trouble.Tech support is worthless. After long hold times, they pass the buck saying it the card or the DSL modem. Funny thing is the wireless lan cards work every where but with this router. The wired portion works so it can not be the DSL modem. DO NOT BY NET GEAR PRODUCTS. THE ARE JUNK.
