This is my replacement router as my previous router Wrt56GL was toasted due to thunderstorm. I was looking for a simple and no complex setting one. I didn't want to spend time on fine-tuning on sophiscated functions as long as it does simple wired/wireless routing job. It took me less than 5 minutes to set up this router as I'm already familar with other linksys interface. Just wired connection, then go to http://192.168.1.1/ to configure the first page. Honestly, Linksys interface is better than Netgear WGR614 one.
I was concerned as some of folks complained that it's slow and short-range but I've used it for a few weeks and no problem yet.
Anyone complaining about short wireless range should check their seetings and environment. For example, radio channel and enviroment surrounded metal stuff dramatically affect the range.
In terms of the wireless range, it seems more than enough for my need. I can browse the safari in my IPod touch at least 30 meters away from my house! My house is a single storey so I can't comment if it'd work well in 2-3 storey houses, but it should be fine as long as it's well placed.
It's well spent given the price/performance. If mum/dad like me who's just wants a cheap & nice-looking router, buy this one.
