 OK but 8 node limit is a pain December 2, 2004
Woz
Fine as a firewall- seems to run without any intervention. But the 8 node limit is a complete pain and the 20 node upgrade is $$$. It is cheaper to get a seperate router, plug your network into that then use the FR314 as a firewall only and use the other router for NAT so the 314 sees only one IP address from your network.
 Poor customer support August 30, 2003
Without purchasing an additional licence this unit only supports 8 computers. When I purchased the upgrade (which cost almost as much as the unit) it did not install correctly. Support was unable to resolve the problem and level 2 support never calls back although they reply to my emails by promising to do so. More trouble than it is worth. Other routers don't have this 8 node limit. I'll not buy netgear again.
Finally, a true firewall router June 25, 2002
Netgear has designed a nice looking, functional winner in it's FR314 Gateway Router.
Add wireless support and better technical support and you have a five star product.

Had never touched a router before. Was up and running in less than 30 minutes with the setup wizard. Easy to understand web interface for configuration and status. Web filter feature is nice for families with children, but the subscription fee for the web filter database seems a bit high. Manual is provided in PDF only--no hard copy--however it's reasonably easy to understand. Nice heavy duty metal housing. A tad more expensive than some competing products, but appears to be well worth a little extra. I'm very happy with it and would recommend it to anyone.
