Solid Product I bought this router after having months of trouble with a Linksys BEFW11P1, which died one night with the fatal red diagnostic light refusing to go off.It is everything it advertises. It gets excellent range thanks to it's detachable antenna, and I might add that it's WiFi Certified. I get 11Mb reception in places where I previously got 2. That's quite a jump. It's firewall is tough, and solid as well. SPI is a great feature to have these days. It comes with plenty of aided setup mat...

Perfection This little guy has everything I needed and more. I replaced a failing Linksys 4 port router and buggy Linksys wireless access point with one solid metal box that works better and does more than both. It was recently the recommended wireless gateway after a review of 11 competing products at P>It has a real firewall, an area that is seriously lacking in similar products. It can email you an access log at specified times or when it fills. It can immediately email you if it detects a DoS attack or...

Solid and Fast I've got quite a lot of experience using the Linksys BEFSR series, Netgear MR314 and now the FM114P broadband routers. Of these, the FM114P wins on just about every front.In general I liked the Linksys line as they had some useful features, including port mapping and UPnP support, which the Netgear products do not have. On the down side, they also have occasional hang ups and don't do stateful-packet-inspection (SPI). SPI is becoming ever more important with the rise of denial-of-service a...

Excellent and reliable wireless performance! I purchased the FM114P router and the MA-410 PCMCIA wireless card (see separate review) from Amazon. The FM114P worked right out of the box without any installation or configuration. I took the internet cable out of my computer, plugged it into the FM114P and the ran an internet cable (provided) from my cable modem to the FM114P. It worked flawlessly. I would recommend pulling the plug on the cable modem and then plugging it in again after about 5-10 seconds. Some cable modems require this reset...

All that you need, period! I bought this as part of move to new house and was deciding between the Linksys and this, having been a user of the MR314. For ... more than the Linksys, Netgear got this right!It's small, solidly constructed, and comes loaded with an SPI firewall and Print Server. Unlike the MR314's wimpy antenna, the antenna on the FM114P is detachable! As a bonus, it includes Zero Knowledge's Freedom Anti-Virus / Ad-Blocking software, although this may also be included in D-Link's and other brands too.<...

Broke after 10 months. Speed is 50% faster without it.

Wonderful product After getting my PhD in computer science and moving into a new house, I wanted a good wireless access point/switch to go with the cable modem so that my wife and I could work on the net at the same time. I first tried the Linksys 4-port switch and wireless access point, but after being unable to get it to work properly despite the best efforts of linksys tech support and my networking knowledge, and taking the original back for a different one, I gave up and got the Netgear FM114P instead.Th...

I am worried this thing will let me down. I have just read every review and comment on this product and I am a little worried. I spent my whole Friday night last night on Long Island (I live in the Bronx, NY), replacing a Linksys BEFW11S4 v.4 with an FM114P. I had to foot my own money for the replacement because I am the consultant who went with the Linksys in the first place. I also had to pay for my travel out there. I also have recommended similar Netgear units to other clients, namely the FR114P (non-wireless). In effect I've s...

I would not buy it again The 'content filter' is a useless string match within URLs and does not work for IP addresses. The FM114P does not work when connected to a micro repeater, support is not existent and my box died after only 2 month.

A truly great product! After much research, I finally found this little jewel. It has a SPI firewall, 802.11b wireless, 4 switch wired router, and print server - everything I need in one box. I got it up and running, updated to latest firmware, all features working in about 45 minutes (without calling Netgear, so can't comment on support). Yes, I am computer proficient, but I would not classify myself as a network expert. This is really about as idiot-proof as you can get.I am still learning about how to set up...
