Newegg has the refurbished Netgear Wireless-G Router WGR614 for $15 - $5 off coupon code EMCLVPL36 [Exp 8/5] + $2 shipping = $12 shipped. Features SPI and DoS attack protection, WEP / WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK encryption, and a 2dBi antenna.
Not worth it, Not even for free!!
Total junk, You will waste endless time rebooting and unplugging and resetting and pulling our hair out with this worthless POS!!!!
Just dont do it..SKip this..
Really? Amazon and Newegg reviews doesn't sound quite that bad. Not that I need one - my WRT54G v3 is still going strong.
skip this, i bought 3 of these, me1 sister1 brother1... all bad
Absolutely horrible router!!! Regularly requires restarts. Could not get it to DMZ. GARBAGE!!!
Sorry you have such a bad family life...
i picked up 2 awhile back, didnt have any problems, now i have a linksys wrt610 dual band wireless gaming router, that i cannot connect too half of the time due to the router getting too hot i believe i seen in posts people have had to put fans to cool the router, im fixin to unplug is and go back to my older linksys 330n gaming router i had before
router is not good. cheap price, cheap router. you get what u pay for.
i use to support linksys, until i bought one of these routers.. total POS.. replaced with an asus and flashed with tomato.
I have a Netgear G router from 4 yrs ago, as do my parents (there's is 3 yrs old). I think I paid $30 for one, $40 for the other? Anyway, only recently has mine needed to be unplugged/replugged every so often (maybe once a month or so), so based on my experience and limited needs, I don't think I needed to spend 50% more on a Linksys... but that's just me.
They have an Asus that you can run DD-WRT on it. That is probably a great bargain way to go.
I've had this router for at least 5 years (yes, it is that old of a model), and it is not that bad. I have had to reboot it a couple of times a year after I notice everything looking sluggish, and my download speeds drop to dial-up range. But the complaints here are overstated. It works solidly the vast majority of the time.
That said, its old and I am replacing it soon with a Belkin N+.
I bought this model to replace a Linksys that had to be rebooted multiple times a day and it has performed great. I've reset it twice in the last year and a half.
Waiting for N to drop in price before I drill holes in my walls.
