DNS problem like everyone else.......2004-11-12
I bought mine exactly 1 year ago, and I have the same DNS complaints as everyone else. And it seemed to have cropped up after upgrading FIRMware to 1.5 from 1.2 or 1.3 half a year ago. If I am downloading or sharing something large at my max ADSL downspeed/upload, 96/640kbps, DNS failures are very common. And I frequently download from newsgroups, so this is a real issue. I imagine users realtime videa and audio will have the same problem.
It is easy to setup and use, and seems to work fine as a LAN router and print server, though I haven't used it much as one. It works fine if I am not maxing my net connection.
From the other reports of terrible customer service, I advise anyone to avoid this company if you have a similiarly priced alternative.
It is still much than using PPPoeT dialer software that the telco gives you to access DSL without a ADSL router.
If this router stops working for you ..........2004-09-22
Several reviewers have posted and said that after a certain period of time, the router starts dropping their Internet connection randomly. I too have had the same thing happen, but have traced it to a DNS problem, not a connection issue. What this means is that the router (for whatever reason) loses its ability to translate numeric Innternet IP addresses (such as 216.109.117.10) to names (www.yahoo.com). So, if your Internet connection appears to have died, bring up a command prompt and try pinging 216.109.117.106 (or any other IP address). If that works, then you have a DNS problem.
To resolve this issue, contact your ISP and find out what their DNS server IP addresses are, and then plug that information into the router's configuration or into the TCP/IP network settings for each machine connected to the Internet.
I don't know why this problem occurs, but once I manually entered the DNS settings, everything worked fine. I have had no other issues with this router, other than the network connections being in the front of the device instead of the back (as others have commented on already).
If you are reading this review trying to decide whether to get this router, I wold advise against buying anything from Netgear or Linksys. If you read the reviews for pretty much any Netgear or Linksys router on this site, you will see that most of them get horrible reviews for reliability issues. Plus, many have stated that Netgear customer support is horrible, and I can attest to that. I sent them an email once and it took weeks before they responded back.
You may want to consider something like the Zyxel Prestige 324 instead. It may cost a little more, but word on the street is that its a better product, and more secure also. I plan on buying one to replace my Netgear PR114.
Horrible router.......2004-05-25
I have similar problems as described by someone here. I have to disconnect the router often to get on the internet. It would stop working suddenly. Also Netgears' customer service is pathetic. I have been using this router for 2 years now.
It's Horrible.......2003-11-14
I don't know how to begin... This router randomly decides sometimes that it doesn't want to work. The internet will stop working. Completely. When I unplug my computer and try plugging in directly to the DSL modem, everything works fine. For some reason, this router messes with me every single day, and I'm on amazon now looking to buy a new one.
'Nuff Said.
Very easy setup.......2002-11-27
I used this router to connect 3 computers to the internet, one computer running XP, one NT and another one Win95. Since my cable company, Comcast, does not require username or password, setup was basically 'plug-and-play', 15 minutes max (mostly becaues of rebooting all the computers throughout the house).

Difficult Program To Install and Use.......2007-12-26
I received this product today for Christmas and spent about 4 hours installing and figuring out how to use the software. Frankly, this is the most difficult installation I have ever experienced:
The installation software doesn't automatically install in Widows XP. One has to type it in the command line in "Run". (Yes, I know this is a minor inconvenience, but it's an indicator of other user unfriendliness.)
The imbedded operating manual is not up to date and must have been written for an earlier version. In some cases the instructions are wrong for the new version. The manual is poorly organized with important installation instructions embedded in FAQ's near the end of the document.
No instructions are given for installing the 5 CDs that contain the topo maps for North and South Carolina. The instructions are buried on page 87 of a 94 page manual! The procedure should been provided in one of the first pages and presented more clearly.
The procedure for saving a simple topo map is confusing and laborious.
The "Notes and Photos Tool" can't be toggled on and off. The procedure for doing so is wrong in the manual. One needs an embedded note or photo to save the exact topo map!
The procedure for importing a GPS tracks and waypoings is confusing and laborious.
The procedure for exporting a map/track to another application is wrong in the manual. The resulting JPG image of the topo map is of poor quality compared to the in-program topo map.
The 3D maps are underwhelming and fuzzy.
I did like the "fly over" feature, which is like a helicoptor ride over a track on the topo map. Cool!
I purchased this software to complement my newly purchased Garmin 60CSx GPS and Mapsource software. For those of you who have been underwhelmed by the 60CSx manual, it's a treat compared to this.
