What Customers Say About NETGEAR FWG114P ProSafe 802.11g Wireless VPN Firewall 4-Port 10/100 Switch with USB Server:

I can remember rebooting it once in that time. That is a lot of function for the money. I got one of the early versions of this Router/access point/switch/firewall/print server. Also, it has great range.However, this is an office product not a home product, so you should know a little about firewalls, routing, DHCP, IP, etc., or you should be ready to spend a few hours educating yourself. It has NEVER given me problems. Mine has been on the entire 4+ years. So, this is a very versatile device. I used support when I first set it up and they did a good job for me.There is a very good reason why this is one of the oldest product still in production by Netgear.

As a result, I only use it now as a LAN router until I can afford something else. All my friends are playing Civ IV online with no problems, but my ability to connect has been very spotty (I've never been able to complete an online game). Also, the wireless connection does not work with Dell laptops for some reason. I have had a lot of problems with this router. Even as a simple four-port LAN firewall/router it has gaming issues. It also has problems with online and LAN games.

is huge.

I have upgraded to the latest firmware and that hasn't helped.

Netgear's website is spotty as well: the contact list for ISPs regarding ISP connectivity issues was last updated in 2005.

Its wireless connection is intermittent and sometimes totally freezes up, requiring the router and the DSL modem to be rebooted.

Also, with some LAN games (e.g., Dawn of War, Warcraft III) it will allow certain computers to connect to the game server and not others, without any discernable reason why.

"Customer service" is Mumbai Hell; the waits are interminable and customer reps are clueless.

If you want to use this as a print server, be sure to check for compatability on the website: the number of printers that are not compatible (or just have not been tested, why should they actually go through the trouble of verifying compatibility before advertising it).

If I'd known I would face these kinds of problems I never would have bought it.I would not recommend this product even if you got it for free; the time and headaches it will cost you are probably much more than what you'll pay for a dependable wireless router/print server.

Look elsewhere, unless you are a masochist.

I use this router to serve up a wireless connection via a serial modem. I get a strong signal and the router itself is in what feels like a sturdy metal case.If you are among the 5 of us out there still using dial-up and are tired of being tied to a phone cord I recommend this router. Unless you need to connect to the Internet through a serial modem or need a modem as a backup connection you can save money with a cheaper router. The dial-on-demand feature works well and I've only had to reboot this router a couple of times. Be sure to visit the manufacturers web site to see what serial modems are supported. Mine wasn't on the list and it still worked but I may have gotten lucky.

I think it has to do with my wireless card in my laptop. And I would randomally get disconnected for some time until it would reconnect. It's a Dell, with the built-in WiFi. Best thing is that I don't have the disconnects as often.

The main issue I was experiencing, was the wireless conneciton. I really love the functionality of this firewall, thus all of the RMA's. Data encryption is WPA2-PSK. I cracked open the firewall and found that the broadcom IC(Wireless) was very hot at idle.

Sad thing is that there are no heatsinks on it. I also am running the higest security settings one can run. I have done some extensive research as to what could be causing this. Tech support is very poor. I am on my 3rd RMA with this device.

When I was streaming video it got hotter. Well, that makes sense. I went to the store and purchased a VGA heatsink and slapped it on there. It runs much cooler, and my speed is stable. Well, I got fed up and I did exactly that. The speed of the connection would fluctuate between 54Mbps and 1Mbps. I generally get 1 disconnect/week.

When you know more about their product then they do, do yourself a favor, and either demand for an RMA, or hang up and fix it yourself. I found some rumors that heat is causing the wireless issues. When I do experience them, I go into my site monitoring software, and I find that my firewall is still active and has a strong signal. I'm sure I can drop down to WPA-PSK to help out, but I like the heightened security.

I chose this combination wireless router and USB print server because I needed both those functions and wanted to keep the equipment/wiring quantity down. Printer compatibility is hit-or-miss with most of these.I solved this problem with a separate Netgear USB Mini Print Server (Model PS121), which was reported to work by Dymo. However, the print server failed with our Dymo LabelWriter 400. This was unfortunate but not entirely unexpected. Now we can print wirelessly to our laser and the LabelWriter.Overall the functionality is fine. I think it compares favorably to my home network's Linksys WRT54G, though I would have simply bought another Linksys if I'd known up front that the integrated print server isn't compatible.
