Electronics : Netgear WGR614 CABLE/DSL 54MBPS-WLS RTR - DELL ONLY ( WGR614DLNA ) |
- Mostly goodFor the most part this has worked flawlessly. But sometimes it seems to get to a state where the wireless will just stop working (computers connect connect to the network) until the unit is power cycled. I haven't tracked down the root cause here, but it might be heat; I found it got very hot and in the summer this seemed more prevalent -- it would happen multiple times a day.
I plan to replace my unit with a Linksys WRT54G in the future.

- Works like a charmThis router works great. Haven't had to reset it or think about it since i installed it. Has good range for such a small router. In my opinion, most people that give bad reviews simply don't know how to configure their electronics.

- works until it doesn't; sucksWhen I first got this and couldn't get it to work because the set up wizard disk didn't work with mac. So I called the help line (India) and the guy told me to go next door and borrow a neighbor's pc! Seriously. So it sat in a box for months. Then one of my tech saavy friends came over and set it up. It took him about 30-40 minutes, typing in codes and trying and retrying. So it worked for a while, less than a year, and then just stopped.
I called the help line again. They said it should be working. NO kidding. Still can't get online with it.

- No major problemsI think this is a good product to convert your house or apartment to wireless. I had this for about a year and recently replaced it for a router that has better distance. I have a pretty big house and I used it in the basement and I had trouble staying on the internet on one of my desktop computers but my labtops had no problems while roaming the house. I recommend it but if you have a big house, I would recommend the newer ones with better distance. By the way, I have 3 stories which includes the basement and roughly 2800 square feet if that helps you. My desktop is located on the third floor
