Title: You Get What You Pay For
Product review: I recently replaced my Linksys BEFSR14 and Airport Base Station with one of these MR814. I'm happy that I got it for this price, since it really is a pretty lousy router.I say this because the NAT is braindead. I happen to run a Virtual Hosted web server behind the router. The router can't handle it (refuses the connection immediately), you have to use a public web proxy or muck up DNS just to see your own site ! Netgear support confirmed this problem but have been dead silent since I asked them when they intend to fix it. Likely they do not.If you can get this router cheap and are strapped for cash, go for it, but be prepared for troubles if you ever want to run a public server through it. If you're looking for reliable home networking products without any misfeatures, stick with Linksys. There's a reason Netgear is giving rebates and the retail stores are dumping inventory. It's an also-ran.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
