Easily Share the Internet While Protecting Your Network
Securely extend your broadband Internet connection to all of your computers
with the NETGEAR RP614 Web Safe Router Gateway. Each person can instantly benefit
from high-speed Web access, file sharing, video streaming, head-to-head Internet
gameplaying and MP3 downloading. This highly capable 4-port Internet gateway
provides state-of-the-art filtering and controls that allow parents to limit
URL access and monitor Internet activities, while firewall protection secures
your computers and network against hackers. Setup couldn't be easier—a Smart
Setup Wizard automatically detects your Internet connection type and then the
animated Installation Assistant and on-screen help guide you through each step.
The Web Safe Router Gateway is sleekly designed and is compatible with all Ethernet
cable and DSL modems and with all Internet service providers.
Dynamic
With the Web Safe Router Gateway you can enjoy ultra-fast Web-surfing from the get-go! Share your broadband Internet connection, files and printers with up to 253 computers. Connect whether you have Windows, Apple Macintosh or even Linux computers. Instantly distribute MP3s, digital movies and photos. Port forwarding controls make it simple to communicate using multimedia applications (such as NetMeeting), host Web services and play Internet games.
Protective
Establish content filtering by Web address/Web address keyword or by time-of-day usage limits for your children. You can also choose to receive e-mailed reports of browsing activities and optional real-time e-mail alerts. NAT (Network Address Translation) Firewall with VPN (Virtual Private Network) pass-through protects against Internet attacks, but allows you secure access. Auto-partitioning on each port protects each computer from damaged network connections. A free, One-year subscription to Freedom® security and privacy software blocks ads and prevents personal information from being sent over the Internet (for up to eight Windows-based computers).
Powerful
Four ultra-fast 10/100 Mbps LAN ports automatically detect computer speed to optimize network performance (up to 200 Mbps with full-duplex) at a distance of 100 m (328 ft.). With double the memory and a 50% faster CPU than many popular routers, the Web Safe Router Gateway is well-equipped to distribute large-file multimedia presentations in no time.
User-Friendly
Even without networking experience, this gateway is easy for anyone to set up and use. The Smart Setup Wizard automatically detects your Internet connection type and the animated Install Assistant guides you through each step. Status lights make it easy to observe network activity. A space-saving vertical stand and a free network cable are included.

I've owned a RP614 since before generation 1. It's lasted 9 years and been great. I'm finally updating. I was concerned about what the na meant at the end of the model number. I called the manufacturer's tech support (this website won't let me type the name of the company) and they confirmed it means North America and that this is the latest model.
The RP614 is super easy to use and I recommend it.

I'd never setup a network before. Running the cable was the hardest part of setting it up. This router was bacically plug and play. Just purchased a new computer with Windows 7 64bit OS on it and let the installation software take over. No issues what so ever. Even going to get updates was easy. No problems with any decreased performance while gaming (Call of Duty)
not happy at all

This product was probably mislabeled, it didn't look like the product on the mfg. website, and it didn't work. I returned it per mfg. instructions.
