Title: Version difference: WGR614v8 four star, WGR614v9 two star.
Product review: Do not scared by those one star reviews, the router has undergone 10 generations from WGR614v1 to WGR614v10, I belive those one star reviews attribute to the earlier version of this product.My friend has a WGR614v8 and it is very stable and with surprisingly good Qos,which is quite important for smooth web surfing under heavy load. We buy the same model and expected to be the same but turned to be a wrong decision, the current one (bought at Walmart at 02/2010) is actually a different model: WGR614v9, with only 8MB Ram and 2MB flash Rom, only half of the WGR614v8, and more important no more Qos in router firmware, it is much slower than the WGR614v8, especially under heavy load thus need manual reboot. It is a shame that netgear ruin such a good product to make room for more expensive model while still trying make money from a cost down version.
