Netgear RP614 Broadband Router

Strengths: Attractive design, cheap.

Weakness: Extremely large AC adapter.

This router has served me well for about two years now. When I got it, it did suffer from occasional dropped connections, especially with many downloads going at once. But since I updated the firmware to version 4.15 in Dec 2003 I haven't had a single drop-out. The price has come down a bit, so I would suggest picking one up, especially if you can find a rebate.

Netgear RP614 Broadband Router

Strengths: Easy to configure & friendly web environment

Weakness: It hangs-up once a while, poor port forwarding features and no port triggering

I bought this product for its high performance WAN/LAN transferring. I have an ISP that delivers pure 10Mbps Internet connection at home. When I bought it I was warned by the seller of it does not work with my ISP and it was so, the RP-614 could not get an IP address from my ISP. I called the service and it was not helpful at all. I was told that it will never work with my ISP. Then I went to...

Netgear RP614 Broadband Router

Strengths: Very easy to set up and use. Detailed documentation is very helpful. Four ports and and uplink very slim design takes up small space.

I was impressed by the documentation that fully explained each feature and how to use it. I literally plugged it in and did not have to set up or change anything to use it. I have 3 computers and an X-box connected to it. It has basic firewall features and also a web content filter. Good design and takes up very little space. This replaced a Linksys BEFSR11 which was a good product but it broke...

Netgear RP614 Broadband Router

Strengths: very easy to set up, nice look, fast connection(when working)

Weakness: works half the time, awful tech support

I have to admit, the RP614 looks very sleek but that is as far as it goes for me. I have had too many problems working with this router. Many times I have lost connection entirely. When I first got the router I would have to restart my computer many times before I finally got a decent connection. Granted, when I did actually get a connection, it worked perfectly fine. Another problem though that...

Netgear RP614 Broadband Router

For some reason, my connection has been dropped several times by this router and it fails to reconnect to the server. Recently I have not been experiencing this problem; however, I have been receiving unusually slow performance, and after upgrading the routers firmware, no improvements are noted. The speed, however, seems to vary, being faster at certain times. This may be a configuration problem...

Netgear RP614 Broadband Router

Strengths: Web-based setup interface, relevant help information, nice product design, invisible part of my network

Weakness: Some inital issues with setup, tech support hit or miss

I got this router about a year ago, and just replaced it with the MR814. I got the MR814 because I've had so little trouble with the RP614. I really like the RP614's web-based interface. This makes it compatible with different operating systems. And it means I can change settings or troubleshoot as necessary from any connected computer. The configuration screens also display releveant help...

Netgear RP614 Broadband Router

Strengths: Looks Pretty

Weakness: Bad Customer Support, bad Firmware, Incomplete Firmware.

I bought this due to it’s earning several Awards. DON’T BELIEVE THEM. First, I had the RP614 attached to a DSL Modem with a port speed of 10 kbs, the RP614 misreports the WAN speed at 100 kbs or as an error in one of the utilities in it’s web interface. This WAN Port in time becomes unstable and eventually fails, requiring a power cycle of the router. Second, there were at least 3 and at...

Netgear RP614 Broadband Router

Strengths: Highly recommended by most reviewers and publications.

Weakness: Bad quality control. Poor support, only some emglish spoken.

Hours of fruitless time spent trying to install, with and without questionable phone support, only to find supplied cable defective. Netgear's response: "We do not provide replacement for the network cables. If the cable you have received with the package is bad, you have to purchase another one or you can contact the vendor from where you have purchased the router." (The vendor agreed to replace...

Netgear RP614 Broadband Router

Strengths: Small, fast (200Mb backbone), excellent quality. Cool design.

Weakness: None so far.

This little router is the best I've seen for home use. And as with Netgear it is always good quality. It was true plug and play for me. I just plugged it in and it worked. I later upgraded the firmware, just in case... I've had numerous experiences with other brands, but they always tend to break down after a while. If you push them they will drop packets and in some cases "reboot". Most of the...
