    Well mines works fine, Don't know why yours doesn't. Could just be a faulty router, get it exchanged since it doesn't work and see then

    Hmmm... I've never had problems with my Netgear WGR614. Setup was quite easy too. My office uses D-Link and I can't say I recommend it. It feels like an empty plastic box and their tech support is the absolute worst. Linksys is nice... but I still prefer the ease of use of Netgear.

    Yes, there have been routers that can just be plain lemons. Its the luck of the draw. Im about to get a new router because i think my router has some configuration issues and singnal issues that cant be resolved.
