NETGEAR's Cable/DSL 54 Mbps Wireless Router lets you experience the blazing-fast network wireless speeds of 54 Mbps - up to five times faster than the popular 802.11b wireless network. These higher speeds make it a snap to surf the Web, download large files, videoconference, stream high-quality digital movies, MP3 music, and photos, and play online games. This wireless router also works with 802.11b wireless products so you can use it with your existing 802.11b devices and your new 54 Mbps (802.11g) devices. Auto-sensing chooses the fastest connections possible on your 10/100 Mbps wide area network and four local area network ports. True Firewall (SPI) advanced security provides maximum protection from professional hackers. URL blocking and e-mail alerts provide parents with controls to limit access to inappropriate Web sites and monitor children's access. It's simple to install, you just follow the cues shown on your PC screen and your router will be up and running in no time. Smart Wizard auto-detects and configures for the best ISP connection, while UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) makes it easy to use your computers, gaming consoles, and other client devices - wireless and Ethernet - for gaming, instant messaging, and other applications.

Like Netgear's other routers, the WGR614 is very easy to configure - the process is intuitive and fast. I was up and running a WPA-encrypted network with internet access in about ten minutes. (Many other manufacturers' routers have confusing, sluggish and awkward configuration menus.)
Recommend initial configuration over a wired connection. No installation - configured via web interface from any connected PC.
Coverage is very good. I tested the router in a large detached property; coverage was excellent in all rooms and throughout the garden (tested up to about 150 feet away).
As described, use with cable modems only - there is no built-in ADSL modem.
Set up for Virgin (formerly Telewest).
Turn it on, configure it and forget about it.
Highly recommended.
