Never buy Netgear Routers. Absolutely Horrible. Drops the signal every minute or so sometimes even more.

Horrible product! Never again will I buy something from NETGEAR.I am in the same situation as you, wired connection works just fine, but not the wireless. And can't try to call them either, they wanted $70 from me! Hell no!

Mine can't take wireless access list and keeps losing connection/rebooting several times a night. When I called them they said I don't need the wireless access list - well, why did they make it available??? Horrible support. DON'T BUY THIS ROUTER.

Mine have been working fine for 2 years. The are hard to reconnect when I have to change routers. It seeps to help if I shut them off for at least 10 minutes before trying to reconnect to router.

I haven't updated/connected to my router in a while, so I'm not sure what version I am running and I would need to drag out my laptop to check it. If you had no problems with 1.88 I would try going back to it. If that doesn't work then contact support/RMA it.

Interestingly enough, I just experienced the same exact issue...my computer has WIN Vista and meets all the setup requirements but I was unable to install the Netgear WGR614 so after investing about 3 hours in hair-pulling workarounds, I returned the unit to the retailer.

I had a Belkin router for years and had no trouble with it. When I switched to Cox, I had to reboot the router around 5 times a day. It was in another room from the computer and was a real nuisance. Cox suggested a new router. I bought the Netgear router a few months ago and have not had to reboot once since. That is the only obvious difference to me.

Same thing happened to me. I sent it back and got another and it was just a bad. The only way to fix it is send it back and buy a different router. This one is junk.

Can you enter the required info and then use the router? I have not encountered this issue yet. The directions supplied with the device are of no help on this. Netgear Support should be able to answer this.

Sorry. this question is beyond my level of expertise and experience. I recommend that you phone the NetGear people since this is where their expertise lies. They have been very helpful for me, a non expert router user.

Netgear has excellent customer service, while I cannot answer your question I'm fairly sure they would be happy to if you asked them. Here is a quote from a message I got from them with some links that might be helpful." Please remember that whenever you have trouble that there are several options for us to assist. You can contact our support team at support.netgear.com, ask a question on our forums: forum1.netgear.com, or you can email us directly at amazon@netgear.com."

the specs drew me to this router but i bought it refurbished and had issues with it straight out of the box - the tech support did respond to my emails and i havent bothered in recent times to follow up because i was so busy but if you buy this i suggest you get it new - i like netgear routers but maybe someone else might have had a better experience than me

WD is a newcomer to the router business. They are known for Hard drives. I bought their new router and paired it with the matching extender. I recently bought a new router. Their devices are not mature items yet and I struggled with them. Look elsewhere.

Well since you're a Netgear employee, why does my adaptor work flawlessly with my computer and won't even let my ps3 or xbox connect to the internet? A little off-subject but your time is appreciated.

A year ago I made several calls to Netgear's tech support about the Repeater feature. Not a single person there had any idea what I was talking about. I can't blame them though as Netgear doesn't include anything in the manual...so I doubt they have any info to train their own people.What you want is a Belkin F5D7132 Universal Repeater. It's basically an access point with a static IP on your local network, that is authenticated with your main router's WEP. A chore to setup so you should understand the concepts of how routers and IPs work or you will be pulling out your hair. I have one on my home theater and it works fine at 54mbps.
